    Probably best to go with aftermarket, unless you can get a Ford van or F-150 column from 78-79 era and heavily modify it. Also you will need a 67-70 steering box, preferrable one from a power steering car so it has the quick ratio.  By the time you get through with all thta, you might just want to consider a rack&pinion setup.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    67 Mustang drum brake MC will work fine.  The front bowl goes to the rear brakes and the rear bowl (nearest firewall) goes to the front brakes.

    It is best when using a tandem piston master cylinder to also use a differential pressure valve in the system.  The image was provided by ultrastang on the truck forum.  It shows a drum brake differential pressure valve.  Any 67 or later car or light truck with 4 wheel drums will have one.
