A tab bit more info may help answer your question more accurately, like what kind of brakes you have, as Model As had mechanical brakes. If they are '39-'48 Ford brakes, the '78 F-250 master should work fine, as it has the same bore as the early Ford master. If it's disc/drum, all the better, as the front brake (larger) chamber is obvious. Just use a new/rebuilt master, not an original one taken from a '78 F-250!
