Since that isn't engine related you might try here: Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Tires, & Wheels - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Rule of thumb is never to buy rebuilt.
NAPA new masters are pretty good, about 45 bucks.

Make sure you bench bleed the master before installing.
You may have to rotate it a bit to make sure the ports are at the top to get all the air out.
Pic is of an old master (GM) that had air in it. The oxygen in the air can make it corrode and pit and then trash the seals.



Here is that same master cut apart. You can see the pits from corrosion on the left side. It also shows a casting flaw. Parts sometimes aren't the quality they used to be.
