Re: 69 C10 swb stepside project 45 ACP

I was planning on doing a rear disc brake conversion to it and run a C3 Vette manual brake master cylinder but decided to keep it simple and run the new drum brakes out back that the PO just finished.

This worked out to be able to use a 71 C10 front disc rear drum master cylinder. It has the deep push rod hole so it can be run with manual brakes like I will be doing. A big whopping $14 with a lifetime warranty. Power brakes are a waste of time on this thing as the engine builds too little vacuum for them to work.

Cleaned it up and sprayed the bare cast iron of the outside with a matte finish clear coat. Looks just like the unpainted interior of the master cylinder when it dried. I will have to be careful not to spill any fluid on it as I really doubt it is chemical resistant. We will see how it holds up.
