Brake booster

I am doing the same thing but to a 63 that already has duel wheel cylinders. I want to add a brake booster but unsure of what master cylinder to get. To complicate it more my 63 has a Chrysler/Nissan deisel installed. Where can I get vacuum for the booster?
thanx for the help

Yet another bump on this old thread
My '65 F350 has single-piston wheel cylinders and is due for some front brake work... any idea which dual-piston cylinders will fit?

(It's been years since I did any real work on this truck, but I recall that a lot of parts on a '65-66 F-350 are not the same as the other '61-'66 trucks...)
Thanks
Charles

Have to find a good part number, and start digging online. It may have been superseded by dual cylinders, which would bolt right up. Worse comes to worse, if they are made of unobtanium, the original cylinders can be honed out and rebuild kits installed, if the pitting isn't too bad. Sleeving is another alternative if the bores are beyond limits.
