Master Cylinder - K10 to K20 conversion

[Mattchu60]

Hey there folks. Couple years ago I put 3/4 ton axles under my K10. When I did that I reused the 1/2 ton brake calipers on the front. In a few weeks I'm going to go ahead and replace those with the 3/4 ton calipers and put new brake hoses on the front as well.

My question - I know the 3/4 ton has a different master cylinder. I'd like to upgrade to the larger one as part of this process. Anyone know if I can bolt it up to the current K10 Booster, or does that need to be replaced as well? I know very little about Brake Boosters, so hoping someone else can tell me if this is a good/bad idea.

Thanks!

IMHO, just leave it alone if it doesn't need replaced. The K10 cylinder just gives a little softer feel with a little more travel, which is kinda nice in an emergency stop. It's only squishy feeling if you let the rear brakes go too long without adjusting them. The K20 cylinder isn't so sensitive to rear brake adjustment.

Upgrade to hydro boost and you'll have no issues any which way
