Decided this mod had been in the garage long enough.(2 years). Bought the 1 ton chevy swap from Rockstomper. Already had Crown Brake Lines with Female flared 3 JIC connections connected to a 10MM Banjo.
Unscrew the banjo fitting off, went down to Crown, had them make some adapter 6 inch lines. Lucky, you can bend these at 90 degrees cause the new MC was so large, they pressed against the Vacuum Box. I should have had them put 90 degree bends, to late now.
Anyways, back to the adapters. Took the banjo out, so that it gave me a female 3 Jic. Had Crown make 2 six inch lines. One with a 9/16"-18 Male Inv. to a 3 JIC. And the other had a 1/2"20 Male Inv. to a 3 JIC. And on both ends had a male to male 3 JIC to connect to the old lines that I had. That was it. Connected the six inch lines to the old crown lines, and boom, I GOT 1 TON BRAKES!
Could have use a few diff versions of fittings ect, but I wanted to be able to go back to the old setup if for some reason I did not like the new setup. Or if this MC went out, I could carry my old one for a spare. Doubt I will need it, but who knows.
The MC bolted right up with ease.
$30 bucks from Crown for the lines and fittings, and $95 for MC and Adapter plate from Rockstomper.
Total:=$ 125.00
Thanks Rockstomper & Crown for all the parts and help. Will def. be back!

Brakes work about 30% better then stock. I can now lock up the tires with out having to push the pedal to the floor, and even with the stock MC they still did not lock up.
