    NascarDave from Drop N Stop is where I got mine (818)-572-5302. Great price & customer service. He is a fellow HAMBER as well. He is in the sticky.

    A Galaxie or Thunderbird Booster from '67 or '68 should work, I've take some measurements and it looks like it will bolt to the 4 holes in the firewall without any modifications. The T-bird booster is a identical to the Galaxie booster except it has 4 studs where it bolts to the firewall, just knock them out and they are the same.

    Ford used two different style boosters in the mid to late sixties, a Bendix and Midland, I prefer the looks of the Midland. Take a look at the pictures in my profile pictures of the boosters that I have.

    I have a couple of them. I plan on using one of them on my '55
