We have a 74 IH Loadstar 1600 single axle dump truck on our ranch with no brake master cylinder. Its a 345 AMC, 4spd auto, manual brakes, non-power. Any idea where I can get a master cylinder? Its a single banjo fitting port on front drivers side of the cylinder and a 3 bolt mounting flange on the firewall. Any help is greatly appreciated.

345 AMC? Huh? What the crap?
We found the banjo bolt, mounted the new master cylinder. Realized the hydro vac booster was junk, so got a new one from
Napa. Problem is that now the new booster has both 1/2-20 threaded banjo ports on input and output. Old one had a 7/16-20 banjo on the output, so we have to order another banjo. But the brass banjo block/swivel hole is to small for a 1/2-20 banjo and the rubber flex line going from the rubber booster end crimped fitting broke off from rust. So I need to find that hose that goes to a brass Tee on the frame. If anyone knows the part number, any help is appreciated. Its all 1/2-20 inverted flare, with some type of bulkhead fitting type on the frame side going into the tee. If I can find a hose with a banjo block type end for that 1/2-20 banjo bolt and a swivel long threaded 1/2-20 inverted flare section to go into the tee, that will eliminate the need for the brass adapter block on the output of the booster.
