Brake Booster Kit?

Does anyone sell a rebuild kit for a 1979 F-150 brake booster? I know what rebuilt booster part # mine takes, but I wondered if there was a kit to rebuild mine instead of buying a Cardone rebuilt unit. Thanks!

FORD used to, but the danger of taking one apart and rebuilding correctly can be a challenge. They went to exchange only years ago. NAPA may have the kits.

Ford did not offer a brake booster repair kit for 1973/79 F100/350, Bronco or Econoline.

1979 F150: There are SIX possible P/B boosters: 2WD or 4WD; with or without Speed Control; before or from serial number DJ0,001.

You can get the external check valve. As far as I know that is it. I have had good luck with Cardone boosters: cost is reasonable and I believe they know how to do it and what to look for in the cores.
