Just a general comment:
I read every post and every reply on this 61-66 F100s posting site, and every time i read something it makes me realize that i am in way over my head with my truck. it doesn't mean i'm getting rid of it, it just means i have a lot to learn. but in the end, that's a good thing, i guess.
i think i need a hug.

Had same experience until decided to take on re-conditioning the trucks as a learning experience, except for a couple of minor welding task that I farmed out all the body work, paint, and engine work was done as a 'learn it myselfter' with the help of FTE members and local library. Came to realized these vintage vehicles are about as basic as it gets.

from a guy who loves these trucks. you have to set a goal, and stay with it. i am lucky enough to have a good friend of 40 years that has given me full use of his shop, tools, lifts, and his knowledge. he's the mechanic. finally got him to understand not all rebuilds are frame off. all i want is to get it back to being a daily driver. i'll never get mine like theastronaut, but i love it the same.
by the way, what has happened to theastronaut?
