master cylinder question
« on: February 01, 2015, 02:10:44 PM »
My plans are to do a duramax engine swap to my old girl. I would like to swap in the aam 11.5" rear axle from the donor. Seeing how it has large disk brakes already on the axle. What master cylinder do I need and can I use the one from the donor? Do I need to upgrade my front brakes as well?
Project: 1973 GMC high Sierra 2500 camper special 2wd
               No engine or trans.... at the moment.
DD: pos $500 car to get to work and back
Wife'a ride: 2004 GMC Yukon Denali k&n cold air intake, efi live tuning for lean cruise.

You can use the one from a donor.  The front will be fine as long as it is from an equivalent truck GVWR.
