Absolutely. It'll fit '76 to 8/'80, which are the years with the dual diaphragm boosters in the Unites States. It'll also work for any 40 series trucks from prior years that has undergone a disc brake conversion.
No one cares about brakes... we want decorative stuff, like floor mats!

We can't have Christmas in July!
It's happening, but still about a month away from a meaningful update.
You know, a good marketer provides sneak peeks along the way. Just sayin.....

New Brake Booster? 
Yaaaaaa!
Now, what to do with the Centric rebuild sitting in the box waiting for my rebuild (and waiting to cause me pain and frustration)?

It's certainly interesting to see the effect of these revived unobtainium parts on the eBay market. I used to see junk fuse boxes and rotted intake hoses go for obscene amounts of money. Those days are pretty much gone. Prices for used up single diaphragm boosters have also dropped. We shall see what happens to those rebuilt dual diaphragm boosters with Buy-It-Now prices of over $400.

Racer65 keeps hitting it out of the ball park. I might have to get another restoration project.....

He sure the hell does. Every new product amazes me!
Except that they are pretty rubbish quality and finish compared to US versions. I refer directly to the seating as we missed out on the moulded seat back panels and sliding drivers seats etc.
I don't need a booster, but was thinking about getting one for when I do. I'm in
Floor mat? I heard floor mat..... did anyone say floor mat? I'd take a floor mat!!!!

What about a floor mat? I thought those were a Disco item.............Me needs one. Haven't seen one in a while, but I read where some NICE INDIVIDUAL may, just may, possibly, it's been hinted at, spoken about, and mentioned that a reproduction was in the works? 
Seeing is believing......"teaser pic perhaps?"
