Factory Correct Specialists Input Requested - Brake Booster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**cericd** · 03-22-2015, 01:29 PM

I just received a restored brake booster and I am told it is from a 1972 Chevy pickup. I'm curious about the placement of the Delco Moraine logo. I was told that this is how they were stamped on 1972 Chevy trucks. I looked all over the web and I see where some serious Chevelle and Camaro folks don't consider one correct unless it IS upside down beneath the vacuum valve as seen in my picture but of the few pics I could find on this forum they were all right side up in the 2 o'clock position. Just to clarify, I'm only talking about original Delco parts not the Delco stamped aftermarket parts.

My booster:

**cericd** · 03-22-2015, 01:29 PM

Other original boosters I've seen on this site.

. . . .

I don't know the answer, but here's a picture of a 72 Blazer that was said to have 10,000 original miles:

Have never seen the upside down stamp on a truck, only Camaros and not all came that way most were right side up on the other side. I had The Right Stuff company build one for my 72 truck with the Delco Moraine stamp on it.
Here is the link I started for it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=661200

I appreciate the info Mike but I'm only looking for original US made Delco booster info.

The originals on my 72 Chevy K10 and C10 with Delco Moraine boosters are stamped upright on the driver side like the new one I had built.

**cericd** · 03-22-2015, 06:44 PM

Thanks for the pictures Steve.

71 super · 03-22-2015, 10:32 PM

The delco moraine on my 4x4 is like the blazer picture not upside down etc.

**cericd** · 03-23-2015, 02:55 PM

Thanks guys?

Anyone else have first hand knowledge?

**Joesjunk** · 03-23-2015, 05:51 PM

I got your PM, and you know what, I don't have a 1/2 ton truck here to look at. My 71 K/10 is in storage and my low mile 71 2wd has manual brakes

**cericd** · 03-23-2015, 06:57 PM

Thanks Joe I do appreciate you checking though.

leh72super1500 · 03-23-2015, 09:00 PM

Mine is shown exactly in the same location as the other pictures.

**cericd** · 03-23-2015, 09:20 PM

Thanks for the response. Could you please tell the numbers from your booster on the front and back sides of the tab circled in the picture below?

As far as I can tell the numbers are 1230 (front of tab) 0991 (back of tab). The numbers were upside down and were not imprinted very well in the steel. I hope that helps.

Not sure if you are still wanting numbers. My date number is 11 (January build date for the truck), the number on back is faint but looks like a 99 then anther faint number. My Delco Moraine stamping is in same place (upside down) as your original post.

Mapearso · 03-23-2015, 09:27 PM

why are some painted black and others not?

I believe the one that is black in this thread was spray bombed black at some point since the top of the master cylinder and bails are also painted. The one that appears to be a matte silver in color has had the cadmium plating worn off over time. The two with the green dots I believe to have their original finish and the one in my first post was replated within the last few weeks.

**davischevy** · 03-23-2015, 09:51 PM

Chris, here is pic of my 72 Cheyenne Super booster. I restored this truck before repros were available, (1989) so I took the original apart and had it plated.

The factory black painted brake boosters were produced by Bendix for GM.

The Delco Moraine were gold cadmium plated.

**cericd** · 03-23-2015, 10:14 PM

Thanks davischevy. Where is the Delco Moraine logo located? Would it be possible to get the numbers from the tab I mentioned a few posts up?

Also, who did the replating? Are they still in business?

If you look closely "Delco Moraine" is upside down under the vacuum port, same as your OP.

**cericd** · 03-23-2015, 10:40 PM

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure.

**cericd** · 03-24-2015, 06:36 AM

Agreed. That's another reason I believe the black booster posted earlier has been painted since it has a Delco Moraine logo.

cericd - Howdy, where did you get your booster from? Thanks
