That may be. I looked a little closer and didn't see anything older than 91.5. I did see they're now carrying pumps and kits for the Jacobs engine brake vacuum pumps.
Here are some pics and Part numbers:
Gasket x 1....Have to find this 1
Vacuum pump pod O-rings x 2 These come with the remans... 3910260
larger O-ring between Power steering and vac pump... 3912822
O-ring below pod adapter...391282200
The arrow shows where O-ring below adapter goes.
Here is the price info from Rock auto
A-1 CARDONE Part # 641300 More Info {Reman.}
Category: Vacuum Pump

$126.99 core $20.00 $146.99

This just keeps getting better. It looks like the individual pump heads are the same part as the vacuum pump head on the Jacobs pump. ($169 at fixinrams) You might just have hit on a bonanza for the towing crowd!
Maybe368, I put a link to your pics in the towing section for the Jacobs crowd.

Belt-driven such as found on Ford diesels, some GMs, and ALL vacuum-brake kits for vacuum-over-hydraulic trailer-brakes are identical and will swap with the engine-driven ones found on our Cummins and elsewhere.
I find them wherever price is cheapest, regardless of what application the box may say.
For what it's worth, according to my science education, a "perfect vacuum" is 29-INCHES HG (mercury).
My two dash-mounted vacuum gauges, one for truck, one for trailer, hold a steady 24-inHG and 26-inHG respectively AT IDLE.
These readings are from both the single engine-driven pod that supplies the truck (I had to lose the bottom one to clear the huge Ford cross-member) and the belt-driven one that supplies the trailer; both have many many thousands of miles on them.
A dash mounted vacuum gauge is a very useful tool for monitoring vacuum system health and trouble-shooting.

I agree 1oo% that monitoring the vacuum on these trucks is as important as monitoring egt's and such. After all, going is 1 thing and stopping is another, and I think more important thing

No, just the pods, although I did replace the pump, hoses and all o-rings and seals and the gasket. Also. the pods from rock auto come with the o-rings for them, except the one that goes under the adapter plate. I have to say that it cured ALL of my leaks
