65 F100 Steering on a 64 F100 Question ?

65 Steering on a 64 Question.
<hr style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" size="1"> If I get a 65 Steering set up from the Pitman Arm to the Steering Wheel-- will it fit and work on my 64 (including the 3spd linkage)?

 

I think the pitman arms are different - the 64 is a straight axle truck and the 65 is twin I Beam

 

I don't think it will work without some modifications. Pretty sure '64 uses a drag link; the '65 has Twin-I-Beam suspension, which (if I recall correctly) uses a cross-steering setup.

 

My 64 has a drag link & Straight Axle set up and the 65 does have the Twin-I-Beam. This I know for sure. I also know the 64 Gear Box and Steering Shaft are 1 piece where the 65 has a Rag Joint. Everything else I'm not sure of.

 

no completely different setup

Thanks Good to know. Ill keep looking for my exact match.

 

What are you trying to accomplish? Replace what you have with stock? Power steering?
I think the only thing that will swap direct is a '61-'64 gear, 53-56 is specific and I'm pretty sure 57-58, 59-60 are all a bit different. '65 up is totally different w/Twin-I-Beam

I think there are a couple rebuilders out there but you're probably looking at $200~$300 to get that done.

 

Mine is pretty trashed and I found a good deal on a 65 set up. Thought maybe with a little modification I could make it work. But without having them both in front of me it was hard to say. I appreciate being able to tap the experiences on the Hamb.
