Hi Rusty, I do hear you on the failed brakes - its downright scary! About 4 years ago, I blew a wheel cylinder on my '63 dodge. I was pulling a trailer (with brakes) at the time, so that helped...just not enough! I hope you didn't misunderstand me - I'm not trying to skimp on this project - which I why I am tearing into the booster, not just rebuilding the wheel cylinders and master cylinder. On the other hand, I don't have a very big bank to try and break, either! Could you be specific on why I should "get a professionally rebuilt unit"? Is rebuilding booster significantly different from rebuilding a master cylinder or wheel cylinders? Is there a warranty on rebuilt units, or is the operator still on the hook for any damages? (It seems like it would be difficult to prove faulty components or workmanship in a rebuilt unit.) I want to do a good job with this project - to have a usable truck that is safe and enjoyable to operate. Anyhow, seems like whether I want to be or not, I am responsible for the safe operation of any equipment I am using (whether owned, borrowed, or rented)! Best Regards, Nathaniel
