I put a duel output master cylinder on my 46 dodge pu. I am still using the original drumbrakes. I plumbed everything on the output into one line. I made an adapter to bolt it to the bellhousing.You have to adjust the plunger on the original foot petal to fit. It stops the old truck fine. Sooner or later I will put discs in front an a Dakota rear axel.. It still has the original 6 and 4 speed in it. lugnut

Here is a thread on a variety of subjects about disk brake conversion. I have the stock engine, stock master cylinder, stock lines, and stock pedal.

I couldn't find the post where I had pictures of my installation but they are around somewhere. I guess it all depends on how disc (k) is spelled.

Master Power Brakes has a dual master cylinder which unfortunately has a 1" bore not the 1.25" of the original. It is only 6 3/4" long and 4 1/2" high with outlet ports on the left. It has a deep piston hole for manual brakes. Their part number is MC11488M and lists for $89.95. This is the shortest one I have found in my searching so far.

I have installed a dual reservoir mc on the original bellhousing mount in a 51 Pilothouse Dodge. The unit I used wouldn't clear the steering box, so I moved it ahead 5/8". If the shorter mc would clear it's a good way to go. I milled down the original mounting boss and redrilled the mounting holes and hooked up the original pedal. I've got pics somewhere if anyone needs to see them.

well i have the booster and mc mounted underneath on the frame it came with a pedal but it hits my clutch pedal i was trying to keep it located there and just fabricate a pedal. the way its mounted it is on the wrong side of the clutch pedal thats why i was wondering if anyone else had done this and used there old pedal with some mod.
