Looks like my hydroboost brake booster has twisted in the bracket. Looking from the front, the top of the master cylinder is canted to the left. Anybody heard of this? I guess it spun in the bracket?

Yep, it looks like it twisted to me, for sure. Time to scrap the truck.

There's a nut on the back that takes a special socket to tighten. It MAY be loose. You can try auto parts stores that loan/rent tools for it. It's like a 4-toothed spanner wrench but a socket.
