What Master Cylinder

Before changing to a dual, take a look at this thread, https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=295616&highlight=dual+master+cylinder
You may not get extra safety with the dual, but certainly no worse than a single.

I like the stepped bore change on my '32

I agree with this. I have a '99 F150. I lost the rear brakes (rusted out line) and I barely got it stopped. A couple of years later (I live in Minnesota), another rusted out line (this time on the front) and I had no brakes at all. If the factory can't do it, it will take some advanced engineering and testing to get a functional system.
 
So if I was to keep my original single master cylinder with 1 inch bore, that still works with my front wheel cylinders that are 1.25x1?

I also like the idea of stepped bore change especially since I already have residual valves installed

Also @gleenpm someone brought up the fact that the push road doesn’t go to far into the cardone master cylinder and potential for push rod popping out can occurred. Have you ever had that issue?

Thank you
 
I got a push rod with the master cylinder. There is a clip ring to take off. I then figured what I needed for length and welded on a threaded end to a cut off rod. As you can see it is well retained.
