Brand new at Mac Auto around $70 foreign made and $90 for US manufactured.... my catalogue is old and prces may have increased but they are readily available for the Ford.
The bracket is very different .... but not impossible to fabricate. On the Ford CMP the master cyl. is mounted by bolting to and through the transmission cross member...... on a Chev the engine crossmember would be seriously in the way. It would probably be just as easy to use a new mid 1960 GM van mastr cyl. with two seperate compartment and take advantage of the split system...... and I would fabricate the mounting bracket to bolt onto the existing CMP Chev bracket...... Nothing a good hot rodder could not fix in a Saturday afternoon. Checking out Hot Rodding magazine on the news stands will give a builder plenty of ideas from after market suppliers of brake system how much they charge and from the pcitures how to build them...flat stock and a welder and drill press....ok some grinding and filing !!!!! Defenitely not the stuf you can walk in to Napa or Canadian tire and ask for at the counter !!!!! Bob

I actually bought a NOS Chev CMP master cylinder off ebay a few years ago. It was listed as a one ton unit but it had the CMP style mounting holes. The guy just didn't know what it was for.

They also sell dual circuit master cylinders and retrofit pedal assemblies but I don't see anything that would directly fit a CMP. If you call, they might be intrigued by the challenge and your project and make useful suggestions. |

Well after two years of the truck being moved around to different shops looking to help we are finally at the point of getting it safetied. The only thing we need for the safety is E brake cables and the mechanism they attach to that's attached to the E brake lever.
Does anyone have part numbers for these parts, any help will be greatly appreciated. Joel |
