Re: Manual Disc master cylinder
True enough. In all the discussions I've seen about this here, I believe that the consensus was that all 3/4T and up trucks came with power brakes standard. But I might be remembering that wrong. It sure would be nice to be able to talk to the sales managers I knew when these trucks were new and I was working there. They could shed a lot of light on the subject, I bet.
This of course only applies to '67 and up I suspect, because there seem to be a lot of manual brake 3/4T trucks in the '60-'66 forum.
I worked on hundreds of vehicles in new-car get ready, and remember that I've only ever seen ONE car with manual disc brakes. It was a '71 Chevelle. I remember because that was quite a surprise when I drove it. It stopped fine, but had a bit higher pedal effort, like a drum/drum vehicle would have.
