That's why you don't give up so soon on something as simple like an old basic 80s brake system.
My RV ended up needing a booster in addition to a vac pump (and everything else in the brake system). The boosters was very hard to get for an 85 E350 since it uses one used only on vans for 3 years (84-86). I don't think they are being made anymore, so I was lucky to get a new one.
AutoZone on ebay had ONE for about $100 in early 2019. I had tried ordering 2 other times from other sellers. The first sent me a totally wrong booster that as packaged badly and got broke in transit, so they had to pay return shipping on a broken booster and give me a full refund. The second one was canceled and refunded because the seller said "oops, we don't have any!"
AutoZone's site is still showing "ship to home" as if you can get it, but exclaims "out of stock" if you try to add to cart. Napa and O'Reilly are both out of stock too. RockAuto is selling a "rebuild and return" service for $68 but I wonder if you can even actually get that on these rare boosters.
