'59 Edsel Villager Wagon - Master Cylinder options ?

I have just received '59 Villager 6-pass wagon # 2, to replace the one I sold eight years ago, and regretted doing so.

Present Wagon runs and moves, but has no brakes - the master cylinder is gone. The push-rod is hanging in the firewall opening, but that's all that's left.

The seller included a Bendix Treadle-Vac unit from another '59, but I really don't want to embark on a rebuild of that just now. ( I have read good and bad about the T-V, and may look for another, later unit to use... plans are to rebuild the car as a mostly stock driver / pull a vintage camper. )

Will the stock non-power brake MC bolt-onto the firewall and function as a temporary make-do, so I can move the car around w/o crashing into things ?

Thanks for your help !
