Regardless of the discussion of bore sizes,
Early pickups (520 and earlier, non L based) were SAE threaded master cyls.
521 pickups were L series based, and had metric fittings.

Know this for a fact?  Nope, this is from scrounging in junkyards, a practi=
ce which I am breaking over a period of years.

It does make sense in that they were building cars with common parts bins, =
so 66 trucks with single circuit brakes were pulling from similar bins as 6=
6 roadsters with single circuit brakes.

Hope that helps, though probably very little.
