Welcome - since starting with your suspension issues I think you will find that Curtis and Christensen Auto Parts on Anaheim St will have or can get what you need. Not too long ago I had to replace king pins and bushings on a 65 F250 and they had the parts. Hope this helps some

Thanks!
Other sources for parts for "old rolling piles of misery" = Engler Bros Auto Parts on Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica.
North Hollywood Carburetor and Ignition on Lankershim Blvd.
If the parts are not found at autoparts stores, P/M or email me...I may be able to find genuine Ford NOS (New Old Stock) parts.

Thanks for your offer. It needs a little bit more then just brakes though. It needs a new master cylinder, rear drum brake cylinders and change the brake fluid. I have yet to get parts. Let me know if you are still up for that kind of task. I know that is a lot to ask. I understand if you take the offer back.

I was just going to replace the master cylinde,r with the same one that is on there, for now. I just want to get on the road, so that I can drive it. In my almost 38 years of being alive, I've only driven this truck on the road once, and that was 8 or 9 years ago.

Masters are pretty easy to get locally, I have a few old ones lying around, but I am not sure they would fit. I have one I bought a few years ago, and then decided to go to power brakes instead, so it is still new. Post a pic of what you have , and we will see what we can cobble together for you!
