  That booster is fairly common.   Unless you are looking for 'correct"  you
should be able to get a reasonably priced booster at NAPA or other parts
store.and FWIW - its been a few  years since I bought mine, but a
booster/master cylinder combo was cheaper than the booster alone.   Go
figure.

  Good to hear that you are doing it right by taking it off the frame. Thats 
what i did to my convertable. even if you leave the doors on it, it needs to be 
braced as much as you can to keep it from warping. Good luck and if you need 
any help please ask. Glad to help. Eddie Bumgarner

  I found my 65 Malibu to be completely solid and had the car on a rotisserie 
without bracing.

  Just thowing this out there, I have a 68 convertible cutlass and entertaining 
the thought of a fram off at some point. the mid/rear part of the drivers side 
frame needs some attention and has  surface rust throughout?  do I take the 
doors off and brace it ? or just gentily raise it and hope for the best. 
greatful for any suggestions. Jimmy. C
