Ford Booster Types 1967-1979
1967 is not pictured- it is similar in appearance to the 1968-76 type, but with a shorter rod
Parallel to firewall and longer rod to pedal
Common for 1968-1976
Notice the booster rod going to the pedal is round and the eyelet is centered with the rod
Cantilever
Common for 1977-1978
Some 19
Notice the short booster rod does not directly pass through the firewall, but instead connects to a lever system and a flat bar connects to the brake pedal. The booster sits higher up on the firewall than the other boosters
Angled pedal rod and offset eyelet
Common for 1979
Notice the angle of the booster's rod that connects to the pedal and the eyelet offset from that rod
Each of these three styles comes in at least two variations- dual diaphragm, single diaphragm, etc. Every now and then I run into boosters that look like the first type but for some reason have a shorter rod connecting to the pedal. This is not a complete and 100% accurate list, it is a simplification and summary of the many variations of brake booster options in the 60s and 70s for Ford trucks.
