Hey, BDI,
If you are in Walnut Grove, CA, then come on up to Davis some weekend with some beer, and you can "practice" restoring your 66 with my 66.... :wink:

BTW, Welcome to the best resource for your slick you will ever find!

No video, but try reading it in a Haynes or Chilton manual. The Ford shop manual can be strange to digest, BUT it actually make sense once you learn the "code".
1965 F-100 240 Autolite 1101, Disk brake dual master upgraded, swapped over to C4 and powersteering. Bought by my Dad new in March 65'

Planned/considered upgrades:
Perhaps power brakes, 300 I6 motor and JUST maybe, AC!
