Bazinga! Looking sweeet my man. It's funny how stuff leaks, you feel all damn good about stuff, walk away, come back a day later and the car puddled so,etching on the floor. Like puppies who aren't housebroken!
The gasket there does not hold fluid, the master cylinder is bad leaking past the check valve.
It will slowly leak fluid until it blows out, all at once.
Change it now.
The master is new and does not leak at all
The booster won't make vacuum. Probably because this gasket is not installed between the master and the booster.
Sorry, when I first read the post, I thought you were fighting a fluid leak.
I am most likely no help on the booster, but I recently changed the master cylinder on my old truck and did not change that gasket, actually not even sure now if it was even there.
Have you actually ever put a vacuum gauge on the motor and see what it is pulling?
Low engine vacuum will cause the booster to work like crap.

Over 20 inches of vacuum on th manifold.
You have plenty to run a booster.
I figured I did. I also have a vacuum reservoir which I have not installed yet to help all the underdash vacuum stuff work....
Aftermarket reservoir if so you will not need it.
The reservoir I have is the stock unit for a 74
Goes on the passenger inner fender up by the firewall. Going to sand it smoothe and paint up with plastic paint and use it.

I have that too. I'm sure only the A/C equipped cars had that.

I decided to order another booster and pay close attention to the gasket placement upon reinstallation

Looking real neat under there.
Hopefully this is the last step backward.

Don't worry if it isn't..I have had all kinds of backwards. Better than doing nothing and watching it sit.
I'm still having backsteps! Likely always will. I just hope they are less frequent eventually.

Autozone ordered me in a reman brake booster last week. Had a funeral to go to last week and and couldn't get there to pick it up. I called them and said I'd be in Sunday (today) to pick it up. The person I spoke with said no problem, it will be here. I went there to get it and they counter guy said it's not here, we sent it back yesterday. I what a friggin bunch of dopes.....
It's better for me to get another booster-master cylinder from RockAuto. I can use the booster, and double check how the gaskets go and return the master cylinder and defective booster to rock for a refund they approved. Just thought it would be faster to get one locally. That didn't work out as planned but doing it with rock gets me the $140 I paid back.
I helped my son Aaron get the dash out of his 85 W150 project yesterday.
The rats had some pretty stenchy nests going on under there!
His dream is to one day trailer Misty to Carlisle and have this truck he calls the War Horse do the towing...

Those "W" series trucks are tough old stubborn machines that seem to run forever.
I just bought a new truck last month and kept my old w150, just could not part with it, it is dependable and hard working.

New booster came today so I swapped my bad one and stuffed it back in the box to go back. Cleaned the new unit with laquer thinner and sprayed it Matt black. In the car it goes tomorrow night
