>Here on the West Coast many of us GMCers have been happy the following
>Master Cylinder:
>mfg. Wagner
>P/N F79821
>Size 1 1/4" piston
>OEM 1970+ Chevy 1 ton Truck
>Cost $60 new
>Warranty Lifetime (Keep receipt)
>
>If your parts supplier can not get a Wagner, then he can cross reference
>to local brand. Don't get stuck with a rebuilt one, not worth taking
>home & small difference if bought Right. This is a perfect fit for all
>'73 thru '78. It's best to bleed the master cylinder on the bench before
>installation. Better chance of getting all the air out of the fluid. My
>Wagner has been on my coach for approximately 9 years w/o any problems.
>Coach stops good with OEM brakes & with Brake Guard. My advise is to
>maintain the OEM brakes with the following:
>Front brakes
> Front Calipers OEM (not over size)
> Brake Pads Carbon Metelic (Performance Friction Co)
> Pad P/N 0524 (about $40)
> New Hoses ????? Long Toronado (2)
>Rear Brakes
> Mid Axle Cyl 1 1/16" Wagner F79767
> Rear Axle Cyl 15/16" Wagner F51081 OEM Size
>2 sets Brake Shoes Asbestos Only GM #8020290/Delco
>#171-500
> Springs New Sets
>Combination Valve (Brass) GM #25509419
>
>After total refurbish job, add Brake Guard & see a big stopping
>improvement. I am sold on Brake Guard (6 years now) & I am a
>distributor/installer. Also one of Bob Lamey's Sensitized Brake Booster
>makes it even easy on the brake pedal.
>Hope this helps you .
