1964 f100
Hi guys, I'm new here. My grandfather passed away recently and I inherited his 64 f100. It has and i6 223 and a 3-speed manual on the column. I'm going to post pictures soon (and when I figure out this website). It could use some work, and I'd like to keep it going. I always loved this truck as a little kid and am excited to begin work on it. My grandfather had been very mechinically inclined and did all of his own work, but used the truck as a daily driver. He had never restored it but did keep it road worthy. (He also had a 51 (50 and a half) ford and a 66 f100.) This truck has much sentimental value to me and I would glady take suggestions on improvement to it. I'm starting by replacing wheel cylinders all around and will also attempt to switch out stock brake lines with new steel lines. This is currently keeping it garage-confined, due to leaky old cylinders. Thanks for any input

Go to photo bucket or whatever, upload picks, copy the "direct link" and come back here. In the full Internet site (non mobile) in the dialog box where you type is a little add picture icon (or whatever it is), open it and in the pop up delete the "http" stuffing . For some reason that always shows up but you will already have copied that part with the rest of the pictures Internet address when you copied the full address in photo bucket. Paste that address in the pop up box and hit ok.
Check your front cab mounts underneath the cab, floor pans, kick panels (from inside cab), back cab corners.

Good looking truck, rust damage seems little less then mine had.
Glad it stayed in the family, you'll have something of his around.
If you post the numbers someone on here can probably tell you its place manufacturer, original build, etc. If you're interested.

Thank you all for the welcoming, I like it here already. Keeping it in the family was important to me; he really loved the truck. What do you all suggest for the box? ill post some close-up pics.

I'd guess you have a couple options.
My bed was in little worse shape. My grandpa had put a piece of metal over it that ran between the wheel wells. I pulled it, grind rust, cleaned, heavy rust primed, rubberized under coat. Then same on other side of that metal he put in. Put that piece bac in and put bed liner in. Also had pulled bed off frame and did same stuff under side.
You could get as tech as you want or simple.
Can replace rust with welder and stock look parts, or wood bed liner.

Nice truck! Sorry to hear about your grandfather -
It pays to have a shop manual although in this instance brakes should be generic enough. To be honest I don't mess with brakes too much, least if I can help it. But, the parts diagrams can help. Be sure to do one side at a time, so youse can compares, even tho backwards. Hm. I found a good original Ford copy on ebay for about 50 bucks. Repro prints are made too, for a bit less, maybe 40 bucks or so.
You are going about things the right way though, and as long as you are doing the brakes it would be a good time to inspect the wheel bearings and replace/repack with a good quality grease. This is supposed to be done every six months, hm. Probably the hanger bearing should be replaced. The stock brake setup works fine when setup right.
