Rob - If the master cylinder you mention, NAPA NUP4572, is the same as NAPA part NMC P4572 - it looks more like a Ford (also CMP trailer) master cylinder. proper link (inserted by moderator)
The Cardone number you give looks more like a Chev number (7 digits) but it isn't a number that appears in the C15A list (which gives 5450260 as the master cylinder assembly) and the shape of the master cylinder looks more Ford-like than Chevrolet to my eyes. proper link (inserted by moderator) sorry - the whole link didn't take on link properties, you may need to copy and paste the long string to see what I was trying to say. Just out of curiosity, I looked in the Chev Master parts book 1929-1948 and 1334572 doesn't appear there either.

Are you sure the master cylinder you are describing is a Chevrolet part suitable for CMP use? What I'm used to seeing in Chev CMPs from C8a to C60L (exceptions include C60X and maybe C8) look more like the attached image from TM 9-1827C on Wagner Lockheed Brakes. As Bob said, I also haven't seen any new master cylinders identical to Chevrolet CMP (other than a very few NOS) in many years. The last one I saw was posted at http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...aster+cylinder
