It depends on if you plan to run power or other changes to the actual brakes. The 68 C-10 manual brake Dual master cylinder works great for just changing from a single piston to dual master cylinder. YOU have to buid or buy a mount to run the floor pedal.

They aren't too hard to build, I think my buddy and I built mine in about 30 minutes but I battled the push rod until I built one that was strong enough.

Under the floor you will want residual valves in the lines. The original master cylinder has one built in that they call a check valve.

I deleted the one I showed because it may have only been for an AD.

Speedway shows this for a 56/59 I'm not a big Speedway fan but they are easy to search most of the time.
