the older ones are nicer
Welcome to the site,
I used to have a 72 buick and I found it really easy to work on the engine. Lots of room to camp out pretty much anywhere in the engine area as compared to the engines and vehicles of today. Used to cannibalize parts from other systems (plumbing, hardware store, etc) and fit them into the engine and make things work.
I don't know how doable that sort of strategy would work with today's engines and vehicles.

We have a 55 F100 as well that we have had for about four years. It is an old telephone truck that we are keeping as stock as possible to keep it close to what is was when her father worked for the company and probably drove this truck. There are many sites that have 55 pickup parts (Dennis Carpenter, Mid-fifty, Macs, LMC Truck, etc) - not sure about the UK. Welcome to the forum from Virginia.
