J50 brake code help!

Hey guys,
I need to get a new master cylinder/booster setup for my truck but I am having difficulty figuring out what part I need to buy. At O'Rielly's only JB3 and JB5 options are available. Would the JB5 work for my application?

77 Silverado 1/2 ton

Here are the brake system release charts, for 1974 (and 1987, as a reference).

Bottom line without even looking: It's probably a JB5. JB3 is a really light duty system and we didn't build very many of those.

Thanks Keith, went ahead and ordered a JB5 system because I couldn't find any part number on the MC or booster for reference. JB5 system looks like what I have now.
