How do I tell if I got a Bedix booster/master or the Delco one? I need to get a new booster and master but I don`t know what to get and the guy behind the counter did`nt know how to tell either. I don`t have the ability to get and pictures and post them right now so if you got some that show both styles, please post them. Thanks.

In my experience most trucks before 71 were Bendix. I'm sure some of the later built 70 trucks could have a Delco booster though. It should also be stamped on the booster.

My set up is pretty rust but the only thing I found was underneth the m/c there was some kind of a logo. It looked like a small rectangle that was bowed down. Sorry, thats the best description I can give. I think it`s a bendix because there are no other markings and the m/c side of the booster is pretty thin. I need to do more research. I did a search on it and was reading through it but did`nt find any fool proof way to tell what it was so far.
