Yeah, while my booster wasn't ruined, I had it rebuilt anyway. Hotlanta has a
company that specializes in rebuilds and the diaphragms are the same for
almost all the Fords, AMC. Cheap too, only $75.

My master cylinder leaked into the brake booster too. It ruined the
diaphragm. The local brake shop wouldn't touch it. Said it wasn't worth their
time to track down parts for an oddball car. I was able to get a new booster
and master cylinder from Terry.
Both the master cylinder and booster have rusted on the exterior surfaces
over the past year. I recommend painting them before installing. If I
remember correctly, the booster should be gloss black. The master cylinder is
unpainted normally, but you can get some "cast iron gray" spray paint from
places like Eastwood, that give cast iron the appearance of being unpainted
while protecting them from rusting. Clear spray paint may do the job too.
