Dual master cylinder, DUAL DRUM manual brakes... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Swapping over this weekend, read the excellent FAQ write ups, especially by Chief Rocka in ‘09, but there must have been at least 5-6 “THIS is the way they are plumbed from the master cylinder”.....front port (closest to grill, farthest from firewall) to front brakes.....followed by the exact opposite description a few threads later. There were great pictures and diagrams of both....my brakes will be NON POWER brakes, just my foot, so maybe the one picture with the description but has a power booster is not right???

WHICH way is it.......??????

If you use a '67-'70 truck master cylinder, the front port is front brakes and the rear is for the rear brakes.

Yep. I've posted the exact pic you've used on other threads. Front to front on these, even though others have done it wrong and tell you it's right. I have the exact setup you're doing. Drum/Drum/dual/manual. Stops great.

Front to deont is what I did, too. Love having power brakes.

Does anyone know off hand what the bore size is on the 67-70 manual master?

Thanks, Cris
