Brake help

[FJ60Mike]

Hi there,
Wondering what I have here. My rig had a trailer brake unit of some type mounted in the cab. I am getting rid of that and going back to stock. Need to know if my brake booster/lines look right. Looks like I might of originally had two fluid reservoirs?? I have attached two pics, one of a clean '78 I found on this site and the other one is mine (also a '78). The clean one has two top brake line ports and mine has one on top and one to the side. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Someone replaced the master cylinder with one out of some other vehicle, the master in my '79 looks like the first one. Not sure what they did with the circuits (is there a line for the connector off the other port?), it should be a dual circuit for safety -

HI there,
Yes, there is another line. There was a "T" in the line for the trailer brake unit that went into the cab. The short little line you see in the port is just there to keep fluid from leaking. If you look close you can see the other line/circuit in the pic. Its going to be a pretty tight fit getting into the port. I need to bend it 90 degrees to get the threads into the port. Waiting to try until I figure out if what I have is correct or will at least work. Or if I need to find a new master cylinder. Posted a pic with another view.
Thank you for the info and help!

I assume it works if someone had it on there, I'd bend up the line, hook it up and bleed the system (sans trailer brake portion). Only one way to tell for sure, going to have to do the same line work either way to go back to stock

Brakes worked for the 300 yards I've driven it so far. Will have it up and going in a couple weeks, maybe a few weeks. Tracking down parts is challenging. Need to get the wheels painted or powder coated, new tires, brakes, few other minor things and will be ready for a test drive. Also want new springs with 2-3" lift. Fun stuff!

Thank you.
