I have a 95 K2500 with the 5.7. I'd like to do this swap on my truck but I'm not sure with NBS Master Cylinder should I be looking at to to replace it. I'm not looking to go to hydro-boost and I plan on keeping the setup as it currently is, vacuum assisted.

I've found conflicting issues in various places on whether I should get a 1500 4x4 Master Cylinder from an NBS as the 3/4 ton trucks and up were hydro boost on some models. Or I should look into a 2500 master cylinder. Can anyone tell me definitively which one I should look into getting?
My truck is a true 3/4 ton 8600GVW 99 GMT400 truck. I went with the MC from a 2003 K1500 Avalanche (Just because it's what I had from another project). It's worked great for me so far. I don't know if there was a difference between the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton vacuum master cylinders in the GMT800 platform, but I'm using a half ton unit on my 3/4 ton and love it.
