- I second what Rawlin says about needing a dual master cyllinder. My single m/c barkes went out one me once (once is enough) and I didn't even have a parking brake. It was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for a w

- I'll side with Rawlin and Grant. I had a similar experience with a 66 Chevy truck and a single reservoir m/c, but the outcome wasn't so nice. In a "panic" stop situation, the rear rubber line blew. J

- One other option which I used is to use two single master cylinders. I have brakes on all four corners. One ms controls the front brakes and the other does the rear brakes. As of an 'emergency brake'

- Hi Lonnie, I saw a setup in a magazine a while ago that had one pedal and two m/cs. If it interests anyone I'll see if I can find info. Some limos have two separate brake pedals with each m/c contro

- This points out what I see as a potential problem with putting dual masters on our old trucks. I've put one on my '50 even with drums all around. Without a warning device you might not know if you bl

- Why not use the terminal from the proportioning valve and wire it through the switch? Run the wire from the terminal to a light somewhere in the truck. Or be really trick and hook it up to a seat bel

- Its pretty easy to do 'tandem master cylinder' setups. The easiest is to purchase one from a race shop. They are not too expensive. Look for 'Wilwood' and 'Tilton' brands. Start your quest at REAL ra
