Good replacement aftermarket Vacuum Booster/master Cylinder for Dodge Pickups

[RedneckExpress]

Hey all, since my brother can't make up his dang mind on whose hardware currently sucks the worst from the major autoparts stores, I've decided to start shopping around for a new Vacuum Booster/Master Cylinder combo to replace the worn and failed unit on my truck.

Any brand suggestions and vendors?  This is going on a w350 5.9L 360 gas engine 4x4 1992 make.

Thanks!

I typically use NAPA if possible.  You application (http://www.napaecatalog.com/WebProject.asp?CodeId=7.5.5.29&Archival=1&BookCode=bsa11flx, page 405) would use 50-3360

What has worried when I was pricing out the stores before finding alot of stories about early seal failures in most of the units was that they have the reservoirs reversed in the pictures from the one on my truck.

Whats preventing you from rebuilding the one you have now?

[RedneckExpress]

I haven't had a lot of success with rebuilding components and screwing up on something as crucial as the brake system is not worth the risk of the cost of simply buying a well made replacement component and installing it.

Well, I ended up buying a new bendix master cylinder off of Amazon, will be bleeding it and installing it this weekend, wish me luck

Master Cylinder swap went off without a hitch other than I ended up needing vice grips to get the bleed valve open on the driver's side front caliper, it got bound up somehow and rounded off when I tried to turn it with the wrench. 

Bled all of the old fluid out of the system in the process, used a couple big bottles up in the process, but it's far better now.   

Still need to do some more work on the brakes, replacing the rear wheel cylinders, doing the GM cylinder swap that boosts the rear brake capacity, replace all the rub brake lines, and reconnect the parking brake cable (It came loose on the driver's side).

I can relate.  Glad it is going well though
