If I keep buying parts for the Jeepster maybe I'll finish it without making a GM metric frame conversion out of it. With the 605 steering box I've got a start with my not steering to well and the 350 turbo would take care of me being "shiftless" but when I feel I want to stop I might like to. The chassis is setting ready for the '40 ford drum brakes on the front and '65 Mustang brakes on the 8" rear. I originally planned on the stock pedals and master cylinder  but after the plumbings with the truck project and the need for a booster a firewall mounted unit seems to be in the future. So I'm looking for ideas of what to look at in the junkyard. I'm not against a single "jar" type master cylinder. My thought is staying with 4 wheel drums and looking for a pedal/booster that will me the greatest option of different sizes of master cylinders that will fit it without having to be drilling new sets of holes. Ideas (about parts) are welcome. GPster

Ford F100 from the 70's. You can fit master cylinders from 7/8" to 1 1/4". 73 to 79 is the same. The pedal mount is simple and can be adapted to most any flat firewall.

Did some have power brakes? Where they dual cylinder master cylinders? GPster

Most of them were power brake. They originally were set up with a dual master cylinder and disc brakes, but the single master cylinders will fit, and drum brake master cylinders will fit too.
