The reason for a dual master cylinder is, how are you going to drive the truck? As an occasional putser around town, or a show, or limited use? It's okay, but not safe to use a single master. However, when the truck is running again, my son will be driving it quite a bit, including a round trip to work of about 50 miles, through several towns on the way, etc. As I said for the time being. Once he gets an old brake system in traffic and has to do repeated stops, I am sure we will be installing a full upgrade to front power disc. etc. Messing it up? Well maybe, but driving it is the real reason for having it.
Thanks for the tips on the conversion guys.
