1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco: The bracket was only furnished with the booster, it was not available separately.

D3TZ2005A .. P/B Booster / Obsolete

Fits: 1973/76 F100/150 2WD // 1973/76 F250 2WD w/single piston calipers // 1976 F100/150 4WD.

If the correct bracket cannot be found in a wrecking yard, or from a private seller, the following have this booster NOS:

FREESE MOTORS in Monticello IA has ONE = 319-465-3541.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has NINE = 800-543-4959.

I realize this is an extreme and (prolly) costly way to go about it...but what else can one do?

John, do you have any thoughts on this?

Bill, Salvage yard, or junk yard as we call them in the south, would be where I would head. Folks go there looking for a replacement booster and the mount bracket should be left out there just waiting to be pulled.

I said that, and listed the trucks that used this same booster the OP is using in his truck.

But what I did not say is:

Since there is no part number for the bracket, I dunno how many other boosters used the same one.

1973/79 F100/350: There are NINETEEN different power brake boosters! I kid you not.

So...how many of these boosters used the same bracket?

So why 19 different versions? Is a booster not just a booster? Do different F100 boosters provide different amounts of force or were they just the last thing to be designed into the firewall and had to take the brunt of the modifications?

If you think that the fact that Ford lists 19 different boosters is ridiculous, consider this:

1973/79 F100/350: There are TWENTY TWO different brake pedals, SEVEN different clutch pedals.

1968/72 F100/350: There is ONE brake pedal, ONE clutch pedal used with or without power brakes.

Bill, AFAIK, they all will fit the one bracket. I don't recall reading any mounting issues with the bracket.
