Check out this article. It explains how to do it using Ford parts from a donor truck. $1200 can go a long way!

Welcome aboard!
A kit is nice and you have the luxury of calling for assistance/parts with the install. Some (most) of us just like perusing the salvage yards and gathering original Henry parts to do the same.
It's all good, --Mike

A kit is a necessity for the 61-64 trucks, but 65-66 is such an easy conversion, even buying many of the parts new will only set you back about half of what that kit costs.
I did it myself using a combination of used and new parts, and I only spent probably $350 total. It's not hard, just time consuming (making the steel brake lines).
