I want to convert my single bay brake cylinder to a two resevoir system so if I blow a line I don't loose my entire braking system. Has anyone done this before and if so is there a converstion kit? Thanks, Matt

First thing is . Do you want some more front sheet metal for your Viking?. Second thing is you can convert the brakes but you may have to do some changes to the equaliser because of the size of the brakes for that model truck.There are kits for the lighter trucks, not sure if the configuration is the same. You may have to go for a larger bore cyclinder.

You will need an adjustable proportioning valve, to tweak the front/rear bias, for proper braking.
I don't think you will need a bigger bore, as only half the system is on each side of a dual master cylinder. Actually, you may need a smaller bore, which is better mechanical advantage. Probably not 'power brakes good', but surely noticeable.
Be aware that some dual master cylinders have a stepped bore, with a larger bore the feed calipers, and a smaller bore to feed cylinders.
Also, you could go with power brakes, but you will need a small diameter vacuum booster, to fit under the floorboard, or a hydraboost, which requires a power steering pump(and some custom fabbed hoses & tubing).
