Brake upgrade

I'm doing the 79 2wd dually power booster/master cylinder upgrade on my 79 F250 4x4. The parts store is wondering if the serial number is before or after #DJ0,001. I have no idea which one to go with, though they are close in price. Has anyone done this swap or know what booster to go with?

Thanks
Jeff

You have to have the correct hole and mounting pattern to use the later model.

It really makes a big difference which one is a straight bolt-in or not.

The last six digits of the vin of the cab that I will be using are: EG2480
Not sure if it matters, but the cab is from a 79 F150 2wd. I hope this is the info I need to get the right part, If anything else is needed let me know.

Thanks
Jeff

That VIN# is after.

You require the booster/MC from DJ0-001 on.


2512669 is one number for it.

You can look it up here.
