72 cutlass brake booster

i am going to get a new brake booster for our 72 cutlass. is there any recommendations where to get one. i thought about just going to the parts store but just wondered what you guys thought. i figure that the parts store will just come black. i will check the price and see how they compare to e bay.

I got mine from NAPA and it's grey. Needs paint. It also has a new master attached to it. I think they only do that for the disk brake cars. Not sure why. I don't need the new master as mine is only a couple years old so I don't have a core to return to them.
I have heard that the drum and disk masters are the same, but I can't confirm that.

the brake boosters are the same between disc and drum, the master cylinders are not.

Damn. That's what I figured. I may have to see if I can swap this one out for just the booster.

New Delco Moraine boosters sell on ebay commonly for around 140 bucks or so. And they have an anodized finish.

You can buy them without the DM stamping for less money.
