I am in Missouri now, and I was going to pick up some parts and kits. I was wondering about the wheel cylinders for my ´67 F100. Does anyone know what they are, as far as bore size and such? A link to something that would work would be greatly appreciated... I was looking at O'Reilly and they don't have any repair kits listed as compatible, only complete cylinders. I could just go ahead and buy the complete cylinders, I know, but there is the issue of weight, as I am somewhat limited on what they will allow on the airplane when I go home, so a repair kit would save me a lot of trouble...
I believe they are the same as 65 an 66's. 1-1/16 front and 7/8 rear. You could just buy the complete cylinders and remove all the parts. I doubt there is much difference in the cost if you could even find a kit.

Thanks, I found rebuild kits at NPD, so I ordered frim there, the 7/8” and 1-1/16”. So again, thanks!
See @Obscure69 , everyone here is laughing a bit because the entire cylinder sets are so common that they're 12 bucks and every major metro distribution warehouse of Napa, O'Reily, Advance Auto and Autozone can get you these same day at your local store or next day 8AM at the latest. So many wear items for these trucks are so easy to get in the states it's funny to see you come over the pond and order from NPD.
Ok, well I guess I will stop asking my stupid questions.
Sorry Erik, I didn't mean to poke at you. Just goes to show how some parts for our bumps are a dime a dozen and some are unobtanium. I hear you on the shipping/travel weight--its a foreign concept to think how difficult it is to source parts in europe and we all really respect what you're doing. Hard not to chuckle with you at your challenges though!

Hey, no problem. My short tone back is probably mostly due to some serious jet lag… 🙄
I wasn’t against buying the entire wheel cylinder, and just removing the parts I needed, considering how inexpensive they are, or - if a local store could have gotten the parts for me I would have ordered there… since NPD could get the rebuild kits, it made the most sense to me to order from there… I did also spend about $300 locally, so there’s that 🤪
I call O’Reilly “heaven”, and I wish we had a store like it at home… I have been in there four times in two days 😎🤘
