Pwr brakes on '56 Holiday 98

Are the brakes on the '56 98 Bendix Treadle-Vac or Delco-Moraine? Anyone done a twin master cylinder or disc brake conversion on one?

Check your other thread I gave you some answers there. They used both types of boosters. You cannot install a dual master on the existing system. You have to change to a firewall mounted aftermarket booster, master cylinder, and a swinging pedal.

I was under the impression all '54-56 used Bendix Treadle-Vac and Delco-Moraine was first used in '57?

Sorry for the muliple post, the one here was accidental, and the other I didn't see the Brakes section until after I posted here...
