Support needed - Brake Booster, Loaded or Unloaded - Which one?
I'm replacing the master cylinder and brake booster in my wife's '69 C20 Suburban. I called a couple parts places and the question they ask is if I need the "Loaded" or "Unloaded" power brake booster.
Which one is the one for me? Thanks, Chris '66 GMC Custom Deluxe Suburban '69 C20 Suburban '72 GMC Suburban |

It's a 3/4 Ton, 350 with drum brakes front and back.

Ok, I got the info from searching the archives.
"Loaded has the MC attached, unloaded is the booster by itself. The booster by itself is typically the best option as they are more commonly stocked at the parts house and then you can put the MC of your choice back in place." Thanks to 62LS1 for that info Chris '66, '69 & '72 Burbs |

Also, keep in mind that most parts store boosters are reman units which work just fine. However, when you buy a "loaded" unit you're going to get a reman master cyl (garbage) with it. When I need both for a customer's car I buy them seperately, reman booster and new master.
