Brake Booster Pushrod code?
So I finally got some time today to tear into the next step in my brake system rebuild and pulled the brake booster off. As I suspected, there is cancer eating through the back of the booster and I believe that to be where my brake woes are coming from.
Anyways. I called up Pepboys and they said there were several different boosters and that I needed the pushrod code. I've looked all over the thing and can only find the number 23 and "made in canada" stamped on it. Any ideas of where to look? Does it really matter?

You have to match the booster to whatever brake pedal the truck has. Ford stamped an ID number on the brake pedal. Look at the pedal, and post the ID number from it. One example of 22: D3TA-2455-AA.
Otherwise you are going to be in a world of hurt...trying to match parts that were not matched originally.
If you post the pedal ID number, I can match it to the correct booster, then list the Ford part number.
stepoinit may have a way to cross the Ford part number to the autoparts store booster ID number, then you can get the correct booster from the parts store.

That 23 is on the fulcrum not the booster
Look on the pushrod coming out of the booster.
On the last picture
Look between the eyelet on the pushrod and the booster itself
It should be cast or stamped into the rod
look for FT-17

Ford sez: The brake pedal ID number must be known to get the correct booster.
I need the ID number that is stamped on the brake pedal. One example of 22: D3TA-2455-AA.
This has nothing to do with any code for the pushrod...because there isn't any such thing listed in Ford parts catalogs.

I was just contacted by Mil1ion ( the guy with all the photos)
He says your pedal should be stamped D3TA-CA
On the front flat area of the booster, below where the MC mounts there should be a 5 digit number stamped into the metal as well
He said look for the FT# on either side of the rod shown here

That's only a partial list...where are the other two pages?
