Master Brake Booster

I have been shopping around for a disc brake setup for my '49. After comparing a few of them I decided to go with the CPP's 5 bolt brake kit (http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...s/4754CBK5.htm). I decided not to go with the kit that includes the booster for 2 reasons (I will be frame mounting my booster):

1). I was going to look for a Corvette or Mustang II booster locally first and then just pick up the frame mounting piece from CPP.

2). If I wanted to go pick up the booster from CPP with the pedal mount already installed, it would still be cheaper picking them up separately, then buying the whole kit. (Or am I missing something?)

My question is has anyone gone with trying to pickup their own booster? Unfortunately the only searching I can do right now is calling the local junkyards because I am not living where the truck is anymore. I am just trying to get a rough idea of what a booster runs for and then take on another $60 for the bracket. Just trying to figure out with myself if I would rather just spend the extra on the booster and dodge the possibly headaches of searching for my own.
