Studebaker, but I doubt you'll find many of those at the wrecking yard.
For the time, effort, and possible uncertainty of a swap, you may wish
to reconsider just rebuilding your existing brake system using quality
new or updated parts. New OEM calipers will need periodic care to
forstall internal corrosion. Existing calipers can be sleeved or new SS
ones purchased (about double the OEM cost, but they shouldn't rot out).
People have done nice swaps, don't get me wrong, but the brakes are
a SYSTEM, not a bunch of individual parts. The master cylinder must
be properly sized to both front and rear hydraulics. Front and rear
stopping power must be properly balanced, otherwise the system as
a whole just doesn't perform as you need it to. Bad news for both you
and the guy in front of you :-)
