I have one off an 83 4X4 p/u. I'm in Baltimore, MD.

Anyone found a semi-drop in larger booster? I bought one from a one-ton truck (I've got an 81 4x4) - but it required a massage with a hammer to get it to fit and didn't last long. Basically we need something same diameter - longer total length? dunno.. Bigger booster would be nic.e.

Anyone have any luck upgrading to a larger booster?
There is a larger booster from a one-ton toy, but it requires a pretty good massage to get it to fit (too large diameter - interferes with steering). any other options?

Run a vacume tank from an early Volvo 144/124 sedan.

Well, I hope you got good service from this guy, I just called and ordered one from him. $70 plus $15 to my door. I like it when you call a junkyard and they quote you the same price someone else got.

Thanks for the referral.

No a 2wd booster won't work. I transplanted a 2wd body onto my 82 and tried the 2wd booster. The spacer behind the booster is too small and the booster ends up interfering with your steering. I can't remember if the spacer is removable, I just ended up putting my 4wd one back in. But the master cylinder and everything else is interchangeable.

HEY Justdwear have you been to pick-your part latley? is there any toy 4wds there i could grab one from? you got an extra one kicking around? by the way where do you live in calgary i am in Beddington. also what do you drive?

Actually, a 2WD booster and MC will work just fine. I put an 84 2WD body on my 83 4wd frame and it all works great. That's why I have an 83 booster (and MC) available. :p

so can somebody tell me if a 2 wheel drive booster will bolt up to a 4wd cab then with out a prob?

It should but I can't say for sure. AFAIK there is no difference between 2WD and 4WD cabs, so the holes for clutch MC, booster, etc should be the same.
I have the truck here at work today so at lunch I'll go out and try to measure the bolt pattern on the 84 2WD cab.

THANKS!

It was hard to fit a ruler up under the dash so the measurements might be off a little. The bolts are 2 3/4" c-t-c top to bottom and 3 7/8" c-t-c side to side. Tonite I'll try to compare p/n's between 2WD and 4WD boosters, they could even be the same.

A T100 booster should work.

I took the booster from my wife's '97 T100 and put it in my 4runner to see if it would work. The diameter was about the same, but its a bit thicker (dual diaphram I'd guess), and it has a lot more brake assist.

If an '86 booster will work in your truck, then the T100 one should too. I'm going to put on in my 4runner (permanently next time).

I live in pineridge and drive a rusty toyota.

I might have an extra. I'll take a look later this week.

I haven't been to pick-your-part lately, but I was at Buck$ on Saturday and not a toy truck in sight. But I got a 22R block for $7.25!!
