Are you looking for the under dash parts, or the cables that fit in the backing plates? I do have a 63 trailer that still has the brake cables on it....

pretty much the whole deal front to back, for some reason they yanked it all out. The only reason I can think is they were out in 4x4 and it got caught and damaged it. Rather than replace the broken parts they installed a leverlock.

Ford went to the foot style in 65. I'll look today at the 63 trailer. I think it still has all the cables from the front to the backing plates. If they are still there you can have them all. It's a start, and I'll look for the cab parts around here.

You know for the cost involved in getting the factory setup back in maybe I better go down to the local hardware store and buy a couple springs and try getting the lever lock working again.

I think my buddy has a '75 F100 that used to be mine that someone swapped a '87 bed onto, the truck is dead, maybe I can make a trailer out of it...

Or I can get a bed that's in better shape for my truck and use the one that's on it now. The bed on my truck now is from a '87 and it's seen better days. I would like to find a plain white one that's in good shape to replace it sometime.
