1964 ranchero brakes

Does anyone have any recommendations about converting from a single to dual bowl master cylinder

If you are keeping it all drum brakes this will also apply to you part numbers and all:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXfXKlj2D1I

I wouldn't be opposed to changing to disks so long as I don't have to change spindles. The front end is in good shape.

The nice thing if you follow the link is it will cost under $70,why do we recommend a rebuilt master? Because most of them are USA made castings, you might ask the parts guy to bring out a few and look for the Bendix codes underneath. Most new masters are crap made in India or China and there has been issues with those.If you keep your drums there is some good news,Advance Auto now offers shoes with Ceramic linings which will decrease fade and drum wear about 25% over the common semi-metallics.

Thank you sir. I really enjoy the Barn. Maybe I can avoid some of my past mistakes.
