This might help find used parts, it's not a list of vendors, it's a part interchange list of what parts from each model and year. You may be able to find parts from a larger truck that will fit the smaller trucks:

Sacramento Vintage Ford is still one of my favorites for most things.

Red's Headers for engine/exhaust related parts.

Patrick's Antique Auto Parts in AZ for engine items.

Mack Products, Inc. in Moberly MO for body parts.

Tail lights are very similar to '36 tail lights.
