1963 f100 score

Recently bought this '63 long box f100 unibody, running and driving with title for 750$. The only major problem with it is frozen wheel brake cylinders, leaky master cylinder, and i suspect a weak oil pump. I didnt take pictures of the head before i washed it, but it seemed only the valves for the cylinder closest to the firewall (#6?) were getting oil. Its a 223 i6, and I am just curious if it might be as simple as a clog the little steel tube that goes from in the block up to the rocker shaft, or if it would be wise to just take the oil pump out and rebuild it. If one were to take the oil pump out, how do you take it out? As in, any thing to watch for or dificulties in finding parts? Heres some pics of the full truck.

Thanks guys. The plan is to get it oiling in the top end again and drive it. Also fixing the brakes is in the agenda. What would be a good place to find a new master cylinder or a rebuild kit?
