Brakes "skip" as I press down. Whats goin on?

I agree with the above.
Also, before you start ordering stock replacement parts, go over the rest of the brake system first.
Wouldn't surprise me if everything needed attention, and, at that point I would advise in doing an upgrade at the same time. Like installing discbrakes for instance.

I was gonna order it and then when I bring it to the shop, ask him if he would do a quick install

I have a 65 Dart in Ct and it's likely your brakes saw the same type salty winters in NYC/NY that promotes rapid rusting.
Selecting a master cylinder that bolts directly in starts by looking at your tire size.
If you see a 13 inch tire then it's likely you have 9 inch brake drums and the master cylinder should have the small bore around 3/4" diameter and be labeled for manual brakes. Note Rockauto doesn't tell you the bore diameter for the three you are looking at......... You would have to call them to get that info. Do not buy the larger bore master cylinders. You don't want to start this job unless you have an experienced person who knows how to bleed the air out of the brakes after the master cylinder is changed. Let us know your tire size. Do not order a master cylinder until it's verified you have a certain size brake drum.

Thanks, Yeah I do have 13 inch tires. I wasn't going to do the work myself to start> I was gonna order the part and then ask them to swap it out for me, when Im swapping out 4 new tires I bought.
