Chris,
On the side of the master cylinder is a stamped casting part number, on the other side is the bore diameter number, this is a Wagner brand part number, it is avaliable at the Napa Warehouse in larger cities. Most master cylinders can be rebuilt, If not avaliable in your city go directly to Wagner and find out where near you it is avaliable. Do not get one for anything else, you need the correct one for the DRW, it is larger than the SRW master cylinder. The Speedometer mounting is different to clear the larger taller DRW master cylinder brake fluid resevoir.
If you do not have any master cilinder in the truck, someone here on the forun that has a DRW will get that numer that is on a DRW.
The dual Master Cylinder set up that Ed B. refered to is a dual inline master cylinder, that Craig posted for Steve L. posted is good for what he is doing, small discs / 11" drums.
For the DRW of 1961 the vaccum booster power brake was an option, is there a tank and hydrovac unit behind the drivers seat? If you have that on your truck all those parts will also need to be rebuilt in addition to the DRW master cylinder.You need to match your DRW master cylinder to have the correct pedal movement/pressure/volume to fill larger wheel Cylinders that are on the DRW, the DRW brakes when in good working condition are great.
