the option is always there to install a MC-to-booster spacer. I made this one out of 1/8" thick aluminum plate (this was on a Fox Mustang 5.0L dual diaphragm booster with an SN95 Mustang V6 MC). You would just need to extend the output rod outward by how ever thick the spacers is.

Is that just a matter of unscrewing the rod?
That application was an '87-'93 5.0L Fox Mustang GT dual diaphragm brake booster with a '99-'04 1.00" bore V6 Mustang MC in my '68 Mustang.
If you have the correct F350 dual diaphragm booster and the '95 Explorer MC, you won't need to fabricate a spacer.
.....to answer your question now, yes, the tip of the booster output rod would be screwed outward the additional distance of however thick the spacer is. Of course, the tip is limited in the distance it can be extended outward.
When you got your booster, did you just order it under the generic number 54-73112 or, did you specify it for a '68-'72 model F350 with front discs when ordering it?
I went to that auto parts store "where they wear the yellow hat" and they couldn't hook me up. (I visited 3 other auto box stores) However, Prior Brake Rebuilders is here in dallas. I have their number so I can call them directly.
I just went to the counter and ordered a booster for a '75 F350. My guess is I got the correct box with the wrong part?

That's a keeper! The highest standard in the Bump Side Kingdom is now and forever will be......Ultra Quality!

I use a tiny ball of clay, about 1/10" in diameter to check the timing of the booster shaft. I ended up with ~.4" of exposed thread and the rod rotated a little too easy for my liking so I turned down a 14-28 nut to use as a jam nut.

Thanks. However, there are people with much better tube bending/fabrication skills than me. Even after all these years of fooling with brake tubing, things don't always turn out exactly like I wanted it to.
I certainly didn't mean to put anyone on a pedestal or kick another. I know Ultras person and he seems to be our brake guru amongst many other talents as there are mucho persones here that have the same. HIO did a booster and master cylinder on a 67 I believe, and his lines are sexy too. Ultras twists at the M/C are horizontal, HIOs were vertical, hell I might do mine inverted or like a twisty straw.
Point is, mine look like poop. For those of us who, in the past just "wanna get it done and over with" we see our peers that perform superior work and those of us less talented or less experience now have the desire to improve our works or should want too.
Moral lesson is over, carry on.....

It's all a learning curve. The more you do something, the better you are at it.
It's only been in recent times that I finally figured out the graduations on the tubing bender to make my 90° bends land where I wanted them to be, instead of coming up a little short. --this was while I was recently plumbing the 3/8" and 5/16" fuel supply and return lines between the dual fuel tanks and the EFI engine we're putting in my buddy's '79 F150 Super Cab.
When you haven't been given any instruction on how to do something, it can take a while to figure it out on your own. But, once you figure it out, the process becomes easier and the quality of your work only improves.

I think that is the wrong part in the correct box. I'd bet in the past someone returned the wrong part as a core in that part number box. The wing nut rebuilder didn't bother to figure out what part number it really is. Rebuilt it then sent it out.
2X on the Ultra Quality. He may be a Good Man so he's humble. But that doesn't stop us from recognizing his talent. You da Man Steve.
Last Saturday I was going between Staytons truck and my buddy's trans mount. Stayton decided to remove the bolts from the exhaust manifold to replace the donut gasket. He broke a bolt off in the flange area. We tried to get it out by using drills, chisels and punches with no luck. With luck, he removed the manifold from the head without breaking any bolts in the head. On the bench top I was able to get the remainder of the broken bolt out, re tapped it, but the new bolt wallered around. Being afraid it wouldn't tighten I picked up a 2"- 7/16-14, cut the head off and JB welded it in as a stud. Stayton should get it all reassembled and get a test drive in before I get home. Wish him luck.
