My buddy is scrapping out a 86 Blazer and I was looking at the brake master cylinder wonder if it would wook for my FJ40. The '68 40 while have a TBI 350, 60/14, and 39.5 tsl tires. Is it posible to use this master cylinder or something different. I'm also using 3/4 ton brakes front and rear.

You'll have to cut the firewall brace or make an adapter or use an adapter from Marksoffroad. That's if you want to run a booster. With a V8 you should have no clearance problems with the length of booster/master. Still have drums in the rear?
With all that room you have lots of options.

I used a GM master cylinder on my 69. I just drilled new holes to mount. You'll have to use the GM push rod. The clevis on the brake pedal will have to be drilled and tapped to accept the GM thread. Pretty simple other than switching your brake line ends over to fit the GM master cylinder.
LOL, make a adapter of flat plate, center hole, two holes with countersink heads (for the master the adapter), then four holes to bolt the whole thing up to the toyota booster. I guess since you have firewall mods anyways, it doesnt sound like its worth the effort.
IMO just run manual brakes, vette master, or early F*** truck master, etc....
Travis, manual or power? which master?

I used the power set up off a 76 full size blazer. Used the bracket on gm unit and drilled four hoses thru firewall to hang it. Pretty simple.

I'm using disc in the rear also. Thanx for the info. I'll remove it from the scrap Blazer.
