When I bought my '80 the brakes were horrible, they went almost all the way to the floor before slowing the truck. I thought I had a bad MC but a new one only helped a little. Well it turns out the seal on the front of the booster that fits around the rod that moves the MC piston was cracked! I found a seal on a junkyard booster and put it between the old seal and the MC and my brakes are MUCH better. I couldnt afford to replace the booster at the time and havent had any issues since so I just left it as is.
