They work identically with only a slight diference in the bolt pattern. I believe that the booster that came on my truck (which fits the factory brackets, so I assume it is the factory booster, or a replacement) is the non-bendex booster. My booster does not fit the kugel bracket that I have (their 90 degree bracket, not the straight one that your looking at). I think I need the bendex style to have it bolt in or I will just redrill the holes.
I believe that both brake boosters are available through the auto store and are specific for our trucks. I went to an ABC auto parts store in Texas and bought a booster and went to put it on and it was the wrong size. When I went back, they said that they had two bolt patterns. So, I don't think that you would have any problems replacing it at the local hardware store.
However, both of these brackets would make it hard to retain the factory underdash components.

Currently I'm using a stock style setup. I'll be swapping out the cab and trying to get the truck painted before long.
So while the "new" cab is completely stripped out and off the truck I'd like to find a way to eliminate all the factory bracketry that makes the master cylinder/booster sit so far from the firewall, (Ugly and hard to work around too).
Here's my idea;
A readily available booster that will bolt directly to the firewall and accept a readily available master cylinder.
To make matter more complicated I'd like to use a aluminum master and I'll be running 4 wheel disc brakes.
If I have to modify to clutch/brake pedal hanger under the dash to make this work, I can do that easy enough.
