Power brake booster
Power brake booster
Well as luck would have it the power brake booster on my 71 D100 is shot. Anyone have one that they want to get rid of?

Re: Power brake booster
I got one from advanced auto I think, I told them to look up a 1974 d200. Lifestyle trucks 3/4 and 1 ton have the same type. My 1989 Cummins too. 

Re: Power brake booster
I found one on Rock Auto for $73! The one that I had on was actually from a 72, so I'm guessing it was not a factory install....
Re: Power brake booster
Stevenow, you have a part number?
Re: Power brake booster
Not to hijack but had a somewhat pertinent question for the booster experts...
I have a 1970 D100 but mine did not come with a booster. If I bought just the booster will my existing master cylinder bolt to that? My master cylinder is a dual pot and has 4 mounting holes. Thanks in advance.

Re: Power brake booster
BBail I'm not real certain but, I believe there is a difference in the length of the brake rods between the master cylinder and the non-master cylinder. Jim

Re: Power brake booster
They have a different rod and also a Power Brake Master Cylinder only has 2 bolts instead of 4 like a manual master. I would get a booster out of the junkyard to get the rod.BBAIL wrote:Not to hijack but had a somewhat pertinent question for the booster experts...

Re: Power brake booster
My '71 parts truck has a booster. Think it might be original? Haven't looked at it very closely yet. Thinking I might want the booster after all...
Re: Power brake booster
Priorreman.com rebuilt mine from a 71.
Re: Power brake booster
Part number I'll have to look up on the order sheet, but I got the last one. I don't think mine was the original as it matched up to the one shown on a 72. I have a 71. It fit just fine. Master cylinders are like $20, don't bother with rebuilds or junkyards.
