i was just going to mention i had that MC before and with bigger tires i always struggled to stop, when i switched to a chevy MC from a 76 blazer i think, 1 1/4 bore is when i felt my brakes get omg good i mean good.
True. And definitely worth mentioning in case someone comes across this thread in the future. This time it’s just a replacement on a basically stock 85 pickup with small tires......
understatementI went with the 1” master and will be swapping to the GM soon. The 1” is marginal at best with 1 tons.
This I did not know, looks like I learned something new today...you can also get a 1-1/16" master out of a T100 without ABS

I wish I had a more exciting explanation with some actual tech...definitely not. Our grey truck got a very minor lift and some 33s about 15 years ago. It’s just the occasional grocery getter. At that time we also replaced the soft lines. Since bleeding was necessary anyway, went ahead and replaced the 20 year old master with a 1” unit that we had on hand for the red truck build. Fast forward to last weekend, was gonna go get our grey truck smogged, haven’t driven it in 2 years since the last smog, and as my luck often goes...the master shit the bed. I do keep a record of all part numbers used, but didn’t have it handy when I wanted to order the replacement last weekend and figured my Toyota internet friends would know...Then why are you going bigger? The bigger master won't necessarily be better without bigger calipers.
I am running that T100 master and it works great, few of my buddies run that master with the dual diaphragm booster on tons and 40s with no issuesyou can also get a 1-1/16" master out of a T100 without ABS
