I swapped in a c5500 brake master and hydroboost but it doesn't work very good without the electric assist pump running. I have another hydroboost setup from a 2011 3500 that I still need to swap in.

That 1973 will have 2 master cylinders and 2 boosters. Usually a master cylinder mounted on the firewall and another down on the frame rail with a double booster.
you wouldn't happen to have part numbers still?
What would be a decent fit for an axle swap?
