1968 Questions
Hi, I am interested in buying a 68 F100 which is really straight and in good condition. The problem is it doesn't have power steering or power brakes. Is this a big deal as far as value goes? Can I add power steering and power brakes and if so approximately how much will something like that cost? Thanks for all your help.

Don`t believe that the lack of ps/pb would have much of an impact. The price is set by mostly the condition of the truck. The cost of installing them depends on what you can find in the wrecking yards and on your skill level to install. It can vary from no money if you find a free/cheap donor truck to obtain the parts and install them yourself to major $ if you buy new parts and pay for professional install. The ps and pb can be from a 79 Ford and older. If the truck is in great condition/decent price grab it and get organized later before some else buys it.

There is a article on the brake swap on this site. I have it saved in my favorites cause I plan on doing this when I tear down my own 68. Here is the link:

Take a look at that. As for power steering, Im not to sure, I need to look into that, evne though I have kind of grown fond of my truck not having it.. Oo
