Help! 1976 Brake Booster issues,
I put something up a couple weeks ago about buying a refurbished brake booster. A few folks on here said they've never had issues with a reman. So, I went looking on the old inner webs. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Nobody has one. I've tried all the usual suspects, seriously. Does anyone have knowledge of a "universal" brake booster that could be used without too much hassle. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Yeah...Autozone says they have one in stock until you try to buy it. I've already talked to the National Inventory Manager. All of their vendors are out with no date of restock. Brake Warehouse, PartsGeek and Autoplicity all took my money and refunded me about a week later with an apology, they didn't actually have the part. O'Reilly, no dice.

How many years ago did you replace your booster? O'reilly's doesn't seem to have any boosters in stock for any 70's Ford trucks anymore and nore does any other auto parts store.

Yeah Bill, I saw that when I went back to the thread 
.Even though the Pumpkin Project is on temporary hold I'm still buying parts for the old girl. Last week I went to order a brake booster and ran into the very same problem the OP had, nobody has them. The only one that showed having it available, when you went to check out, suddenly they didn't have it. I looked up the Ford P/N and did a search and ordered it this morning.

NumberDummy, Green Sales does not have 4 in stock. Now they have three. Just bought one. Be here by friday. Thanks so much.
I'll add these places to my parts stores. The usual suspects everybody runs to are getting worse and worse.
Thanks again.
