Check out Autozone for a reman. brake booster with and without master cylinder. This is the booster if you are keeping your original drums all around. Without master cylinder $88 after a $21 core or $103 without core. With master cylinder $126 after $35 core or $162. I installed mine in about a 1/2 hour. You'll need the firewall brackets (not included) and a rubber seal for the firewall.

Good question. The brackets will be the biggest hurdle. I was able to get mine used on e-bay for $19. They show up from time to time on ebay but not very often. I'm pretty sure that when I was looking, I had found a source for a new set, but fot the life of me I can't remember where. As for the seal, I bought a seal from pony parts for $6 that was meant for a mustang. Others have suggested making one out of an inner tube and I see no reason why that wouldn't work just fine.

Got my booster from Dennis Carpenter Obsolete ford. It will not bolt right up It sat in storage for years until I saw someone selling brackets for power brake booster 66 f-100. I got the brackets from ebay bolted up and worked fine. The hard part about this is getting the brackets. Good luck.
