One question what's $OR? (probably a stupid question)

does anybody know where I can find or does anyone have a brake booster for a 1969 fj55
the only ones I can find are over $300

Sure you're in a bigger hurry than I could provide, but have a good one on the 71 parts pig.....I think. Hoping to make it by the metal shop tomorrow, but don't think I can pull in the short time I'll have there, so maybe a week.
Believe questions were asked of me, when I was searching for info on the brakes, "what make you think the booster is bad?" (Sounds Pighead-ish)
When I answers, believe a very simple step to check was posed and when I followed, realized the booster was good.
Ought to move this thread or start another to the Preservation Society. Lots of parts exchanges, info, suggestions flow freely, since we're all in, or have been in, similar boats.

would it be cheaper to convert the brakes to disc brakes (also in the future) or keep and just do a rebuild on the drums
Cheaper?
Probably not, but would be a good time to consider along with power steering plans, of any.
Drums could remain on the rear and I was wrong in saying the OE rebuild kits are NLA, because Onur (beno, whom you might want to contact) just shipped rebuild kit for the rear of the 76.
On the front, there's several ways to go about the disc conversion, but, in my opinion, converting to 60 series makes the most sense, as does the 60 series PS conversion.
Parts are abundant for both and should be for some time, but mounting the PS gearbox requires some fab work. Not a big deal, I had planned and purchased similar, then determined the 72 I'm working on to he a restoration only.
