Re: [Chrysler300] 55-56 Power Brake Booster?

["Johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

The booster shown on e-bay does appear to be a 1956.  Also on some 1956 examples such as New Yorker there was a bellows type booster used with the same master cylinder.  My guess is if this came from a '55 Imperial it was changed out sometime in it's earlier life.  

Chrysler used a completely different master cylinder and booster along with different pedal linkage on 1955 examples.  The 1955 unit was manufactured by Kelsey Hayes.
