I'm trying to buy a booster and master cylinder but a set is over 300 dollars when I can do it for under 240, is it a good idea to buy refurbished? Can I mix and match boosters and cylinders or should I just buy the set?
Advice for buying brake boosters and master cylinders for 4 drums?

Unless you know your way around the brake system, buying a set is probably a safer route - assuming you trust the vendor to know their way around a brake system. As far as new vs. refurbished, if the refurbished parts come with a warranty, they are probably ok. Again - do they come from a vendor you can trust?

I do not think there was a drum power brake set up. Not 100% sure on that. If you have disc up front and drum rear and say Power Disc on pedal you have PDB. The master cylinder is different on 72 & 73 for PDB being 15/16" dia. and drum is 1" 1971 all were 1". If switching to PDB the pedal is different and nobody had the original booster, Bendix. I build my own costs so much to sent to Oregon to get built. Usually not much wrong inside.
I should start rebuilding on east coast I have a fixture to take apart and assemble. I found all the parts after years of searching. I am out right now I just sent a member three sets over seas.
Lots to change going to PDB, spindles, hoses, hard lines, proportioning valve, pedal so know what you need before you start.
