I think by the serial number that is the right size... trying to find a
picture of one to verify and maybe pick up how the top end plumbing goes ~D<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I don't recall there being an F150 in that year. I remember the F100
and the F250. I had a '65 F100 with a 262ci 6cy/3 on the tree. Bought
it brand new, somewhere in the $1500 range if memory serves. (I think
the 223ci was the 'standard' engine) It hauled my race car/trailer(no
trailer brakes) pretty good....it was exciting when I had to stop
quickly though. Glad I and everyone else on the road lived through those
'stupid/young' times.

My best memory of the plumbing is that the valve cover has two holes.
The one closest to the front is for the breather and the next one is/was
for the pvc valve, which hooked into the air-filter housing. 1965 was a
long time ago, so my memory may be off. You should try your local
library for some info. It may still have some old 'repair' manuals that
would cover what you are looking for. Another thing you might try is
looking on eBay for a Service Manual for that year truck.

Hope something of this helps.....

Lots of things for it on eBay. My 62 F-100 I've had since 1978. Its tore
down for resto right now. It had a 292 in it when I bought it. When it
lives again it will have a newer F-100 frame with a independant front
suspension,power disc brakes, power steering, and air conditioning, and
either a 66 390 4 barrel or a 1972 460. Mine is also the 8 ft unibody
model.

It's a F-100. "F10". The next letter "J" means it had a 223 six
standard. The next letter "D" means it was built in Dallas TX. MK<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
