master bore size should be the same size as the wheel cylinders or calipers you are using now. if your master is a 1 1/8 bore you want to stay with that. unless you are upgrading to disc brakes then you want the same sized bore master as the disc brake truck used.

It would result in more pedal travel to fill larger wheel cylinders with a stock master cylinder. But less required braking effort at the pedal due to a larger pistons in the wheel cylinders.
