I joined a while back but, before I asked a lot of ? I read all of the forums for my truck. I even feel like I know some of you after reading about your trucks. I have a 1966 f-100 that I brought back in Jan. o7 and I've been working on it. I pulled the rear end out and the bed off and have redone all of the brakes on rear and replace all seals, bearing shocks and sprayed the bed liner and reinstalled. I'm now taking the front end apart to do the disc brake work. Just one ? I pulled disc from a 77 f-100 and all the other parts, but it had no master on it. Which one do I need to order to replace the old one? I'm thinking the same as the 77. I will put a photo of my 66 as soon as I can find out how.
Thanks for all of you help in your other post.

First and foremost, welcome to FTE!!! 
Used a 76 F150 as the donor truck for my 65 F100. Went to local Napa parts supplier and purchased a 76 replacement MC, also had the option which side I wanted the pressure fittings on. Suggest not bothering with salvaging an MC, found there was not much difference in price between new and used. Seem to recall costing around $50 and because it was new no exchange was necessary, this was a few yrs. back.
Can't recall which yrs. boosters were interchangeable, was able to salvage a couple from donor trucks, with brackets, in salvage yard along with metering valve, found having a backup handy. Again, welcome.

Welcome to the Board. Very nice truck, do you have a matching one named Jake?
Looks like you are doing a first class job. Where did you position the fuel filler - in the bed floor? I would like to see a picture if you have one.
Thanks
Chris

66sprintw53,
Yes, I put it in the floor of the bed, I will get a photo and add it tonight when I get Home about 7PM
Thanks
And yes I do have a 65 I call old blue (Ford Light Blue) But Not as good looking as the 66 I would like to work it up after I get the 66 done.

I checked your gallery and saw the new pictures. Thanks. That is the best looking bed filler I have seen.
Very nice work.
