best battery size for 64 f100

Does anyone know what battery group size would fit the stock battery tray on a 64 f100 the best?

Group 24 is standard and group 27 is the heavy duty. It depends on the size of your tray. Post the measurements and I'll see what fits.

I agree with Barry.

To further refine the answer, generally a case size 24F or 27F is specified.

The "F" case has the battery posts correctly configured for a Ford vehicle and a true "F" case has the proper shaped case bottom to accomodate the original Ford battery hold down plate. I have seen later production 24F and 27F cases without this feature. Sometimes an improvised hold down scheme is required.
