1970 Catalina 2dr Hardtop need parts!

[PawpawsCat]

I have a 1970 Catalina 2dr hardtop. What other years have compatible parts?! I’m looking for a new brake booster/ master cylinder and am having no luck on finding in stock. Also need a driver fender and chrome rocker molding. Mostly need the brake parts right now!

Rockauto has the master and look at Ames for the booster or repair kit.

Just checked with Ames. They do not have one for a 1970 Catalina. They referred me to a place that rebuilds them but that’s almost a month turn around time. Was looking for something I could get sooner.

What symptoms does the booster exhibit that makes you think it needs to be replaced?

Thanks for the fast replies. The seal on the front is very old and not sure if it is still sealing with all the rust/corrosion around it. I was replacing the master cylinder and figured I would change out the factory booster as well

That's who I would have suggested. I would grab it while available.
