'64 was first year for trucks, iirc.
The truth is self-adjusters don't work particularly well (at least over time) and they can cause trouble when the parts break, and start flopping around free lance inside the drum. If I didn't have them today, I wouldn't go out of my way to install them necessarily.

1964 was the first year that F100 2WD's had self adjusting brakes. 1967 was the first year F100 4WD's had self adjusting brakes.
1967 F100 4WD use the same self adjuster parts as 1964/66 F100 2WD .. 1968 and later F100 2WD/4WD self adjuster parts are different.

The self adjusters only work (if they work at all!) when you back up and step on the brake pedal.
These parts were such a PITA that NAPA offered a kit to replace these pesky parts.
