Why Can't I Find a Brake Booster for a 1978 Dodge Truck?!?

I cannot find a remanufactured brake booster for my 1978 Dodge D-150 truck with 400 c.i.d. engine to save my life!  Yes, I can send mine out for rebuilding and hope that it comes back correctly repaired (or comes back at all), but I don't want to take my truck completely out of service while I wait for it to (hopefully) be correctly rebuilt.  I would, however, gladly settle for a "loose" rebuildable core.  

If anyone reading this has a rebuildable core that they will sell to me, I would be quite grateful.

      sport brake pads for rear ok?
      By LEarn492
      Hi i have a 2006 g35x that i just got. i put sport pads in the front becuase i used them on my old car and loved the extra power that they gave me. i need new rear pads too, my question is will putting sport pads in the rear mess up my car's handling or braking? like it won't mess with the brake bias, the system that alters brake pressure to each wheel, make my car more likely to fishtail or anything like that when i hit the brakes in a corner right? it'll just give me more stopping power? i'm thinking this as all the companies sell sport pads for rear too. anyone here done this before? any tips? thanks.

      Is this truck worth anything?
      By Jake
      Hey guys, new to the forum here. I'm trying to get some advice on a truck I just purchased. It's a 1977 Dodge D100 5.9 360 2wd single cab longbox.73,000 original km. Trying to decide if a truck like this is worth a full restoration? Are these a desired truck? Do people ever restore them? Or are these a dime a dozen sort of deal? Not very familiar with classics and there values. I am a light duty auto mechanic and shouldnt have many problems doing the job. I just want to make sure it's worth the time and money. Any advice would be appreciated!
