Chevy replacement booster

Post by dr deuce »

I just got back from the auto parts store and they found me a bendix booster for a 1949 Chevy 1.5 tonner. That has the same wheel cylinders, so feeding them with fluid is the same amount. It is ~23" long and ~9" long. It is a single piston unit.

The part number is: A1> 51-8091

Not sure if the A1> is part of the part number or not

It is listed as $558 with a core of $50. My supplier will give it to me for $381 and with a diameter of ~9" it should fit w/o too much work

I personally will not install a NOS (unknown) booster in an HMV
