The truck came through with differing style boosters as to what HYD brake assy was installed.
Look at the ILL's. Yours should be a DIAPHRAGM TYPE mounted on the frame rail.
Look for an ASSY TAG or STAMPING NOS on the booster itself.
What type of problem are you having?

Sounds like no vacuum assist. Have you checked engine manifold vacuum and the supply line being able to hold vacuum? The ILL shows the vacuum inlet off the engine manifold vacuum hose. There is a check valve there (2365). It may be bad. Using a vacuum gauge, check engine manifold vacuum and if good install a test tee at the booster vacuum inlet and see if the vacuum signal reaches the booster.
There is also an air filter used in the system (2363).
The hydraulics are in good shape, fluid clean and no frozen cylinders?

Try Karps Power Brakes in Upland Ca. He can probably help. He has lots of rare and hard to find boosters and parts.

Google for Ford Trucks. There is a site for old Ford trucks and they may be able to help you.
