I had a 1965 F100 Custom Cab long bed in the shop today (Arizona Auto Care, 5235 S Kyrene #42, Tempe, AZ 85283 in case anyone was wondering)
Anyways.....
The master cylinder was bleeding thru, and low and behold, it has a booster on it. The truck was definitely stock, but it had a booster. Had to be stock...had drums on all wheels.

Just curious if anyone else has this, or has seen it.

Thx.

Is the master cylinder still a single pot type?

The 65 and 66 did have an option for power brakes. All have the single pot master cylinder.

Time to upgrade to a dual master.

Here is the correct boster. Make sure the bracket is removed and reused.

Use a later truck master for PDB Like this one

Re plumb the lines and be safe.
