1969 IIA cracked master cylinder reservoir

Seems like the booster is still working. I will replace the MC and go from there. Hopefully I will close the deal tomorrow and have pics soon.

Thanks

Folks around here will tell you, I'm learning as I go ... from the very beginning. So please do not consider this advice, but simply an anecdote.

One of the first things to totally fail on my 1973 series III 88 UK import was the MC. What a strange setup: The PO replaced the diesel motor with a rare'ish 2.5 L petrol...and the front axle with a 109 axle...but the booster and MC were still setup for a single line.

Once the MC failed, I swapped out to a dual MC and shortly after the booster failed...and is still not working, but the truck stops fine and passes Virginia inspection.

My point being, the replacement dual MC with attached reservoir is a relatively inexpensive fix; if the servo has failed, that might be able to wait (remember, not advice, just what I'm observing with my truck).

Sounds like a fine truck - double check that rust on the rear cross member with hammer and screwdriver and POST SOME PICS!

There seems to be some confusion on the servo here.

Your vehicle would have come equipped with a brake booster from the factory. The repair (and pics) of it is covered in the big green book, it has been discussed in the forum, and I have one on my 69 IIa as well.

I took some pics of the brake area today and the engine compartment in general. I will try to get them up so we can see what is on there.
