Part # for Disc/drum master cyl. with 1" bore?

I I just did a front disc conversion on my '68 c10 and really don't want power brakes.
Anybody happen to know a good part number for a Disc/Drum master with a 1.00" bore?
I have read that 71/72 c10s came Non-power disc/drum brakes, but I haven't come across a part number..
I can only find (and have installed) a 1.025' bore master. I have tried multiple parts houses. I can drive it, but the pedal is pretty darn stiff. I don't think the wife would like driving it much.
Not really into Brembo, Willwood or Corvette master cyls. If I can't find the correct one, I will probably have to convert to power, that would be a bummer.
Just want a stock looking, non power setup.

Somebody suggested a 1" bore master off a 1970 Nova, that part is available from Napa, I don't know if that will work though? anybody know if that's an option?

Thanks for any help.
-Russ

I would think going to a smaller bore size will only increase the pressure @ the pedal (??).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Part # for Disc/drum master cyl. with 1" bore?

It's a trade off from what I've read and researched
. Smaller bore = more pressure but requres more pedal travel.. so if you dont have the travel no bueno.. all can change with pedal ratio but not likely anyone will go that route.

Re: Part # for Disc/drum master cyl. with 1" bore?

I came up with this master cylinder, a Napa M1263.
Name:  crop mstr.jpg
Views: 142
Size:  55.2 KB
It has the correct 1" bore, but it has a shallow detent, I understand this can be dangerous for manual brake applications.
I'm wondering if I can just pop it apart and drill the detent deeper.
Any reason not to do that? ( Obviously, it will void the warranty)

Ain't quite sure what to do here

On the other hand, between the heavy clutch pedal and the big-bore manual brakes, every day is leg day

Very much trying to look stockish (is that a word?) I ditched the shiny aluminum radiator because it didn't look like it came from 1968. I'm gonna modify the cheap Napa MC and see what happens.
It's just brakes, what's the worst that could happen?
...I keep going?

Re: Part # for Disc/drum master cyl. with 1" bore?

Sorry about being late with the pictures, Things came up. But here they are, The part number is 29881. I used this M/C on my 69 when I converted over to disc brakes on the front. It came off of a 72 with manual brakes, hope this helps.

That is some darn good information there, Wally. Thank you!
If I got a part number I can hunt one down.
Thanks for the assist
