What vehicles have the plastic vacuum reservoir?

I would like to replace the metal "soup can" vacuum canister reservoir in my 1995 F-150's with the plastic version. Which model cars or trucks came with the plastic reservoir that will directly replace our metal cans? I have read that a 1996 F150 had one? Any others? I would like to get a list of vehicles so I can check next time I go to the pick and pull.

Thanks.

Just looking in the junkyard recently, I'd have to say they are on F-250s & up.

Any truck with the short, fat booster.

What years? And what is the short fat booster?

Just about anything past 92.

A 150 has a brake booster that is about 11-12 inches in diameter & is 3-4 inches thick.

250s & up are 8-10 diameter & about 6-7 inches thick.

All dimensions are approximate guesses.

You'll understand when you see one.

But the stock vac hose plug is going to have to be modded to fit. The Ford is the same, pull off, push on.

Hold down on the inner fender too.

There's a check valve in the Ford too that is directional in relation to hookup & flow I believe.

99 up Super Duty is the same plastic reservoir to somewhere on the mid-2000s, that's what I used.

Where is it located on the Super Duty's? The same spot as the older f150's?
