I pretty much have all the parts to add a booster now. I also have all parts to convert to front disk, but that will be a project for next summer.

The boosters are still available through Napa or other stores. You need to find the brackets off a donor truck. They come up for sale on this site every so often. Ask in the Parts wanted section.
The rod tip is also an issue since it doesn't come with the booster. You will need to get or make one.
