This is a good question. a few years back I was doing the 11.75 disk brake swap and ordered an 80's vintage van/truck master cylinder and it came back in iron. It's so much lighter than the stock one i didn't even notice till I got home. I will use it anyhow, but i was bummed that it wasn't aluminum. I recently went to Napa armed with numbers for an aluminum unit and they have zero in stock and order from the aftermarket. I think Master Power Brakes sells em.
I’m listening.

I have the 1 1/8" truck master cylinder with Wilwood Pro-street fronts and 11" station wagon rear drums. It's a little too firm for my taste and I'll probably swap it for the smaller bore cylinder.

Looks like you're using a 1 1/8 bore mc on a 63 Dodge B body which is comparable to my 64'( yours is a little lighter probably).
Do you know if there is that much difference pressure wise,etc., between bore sizes; 1 1/32" vs 1 1/16" vs 1 1/8" ?
From previous comments here on the board, the Diplomat masters aren't nearly as firm at the pedal as the truck ones are. It's livable but firmer than I would prefer.
