Well, I did a quick search of the internet and didn't find one listed for a 66 F100, I can't imaging that it's different form the 67-72, and I bought a new one...can't recall where.
You can probably get it repaired at a radiator shop.
look here for all the info about my truck..

I got a replacement for $20 from Napa. The darn thing was gushing like niagra falls and it smelled real bad in the cab. Something to consider, there is 2 heater hoses that hook too the heater core which supply the coolant to it, often these will leak becasue they get loose, to solve this I coated the first 2 inches or so of heater hose with RTV and tightened the hose clamps REAL tight. It worked, my heater core actually turned out to not be leaking, it was my hoses werent tight enough, wasted my money. Anyway take it out and check the hoses first before replacing it.
