For the bulbs themselves, SUPER BRIGHT LEDS is a good place to get what you need.
For the lenses, may places have them ebay, auto parts store, some on craigslist. Take your pick.
EDIT: Just make sure you get the LED color of the lens you are putting them behind. (Red LED lights behind red lenses, yellow behind yellow, etc.)

If you have LEDs in the front and rear they will blink extremely fast unless you put in a resistor kit. If you don't mind them blinking that fast then don't worry about it. I put LEDs in the rear and regular bulbs in the front just to keep it from blinking super fast. Hope this helps

If your blinkers are going super fast, get a heavy duty flasher. If you need help to put it in, post that request here. An HD flasher will return it to normal blink rate. With the resistor kit, there is a whole lot of extra wiring needed. The flasher is plug and play.
The standard flasher is thermally operated. Blink rate relies on bulb resistance, so more or less bulbs will cause a change in the blink rate. Resistance is less with an LED bulb, and will be 'seen' as fewer bulbs in circuit.
An HD flasher is digital and uses circuit timing for the blink rate. It doesn't matter how many lights you have or what their wattage is, the blink rate is the same.

I already had clear lenses on my truck when I bought it so I just replaced the bulb.

Most any auto parts store will have the HD flasher that fits your particular model/year ford in stock. It is a common item.
I got mine at autozone, but I'm sure o'Reilys, Napa or Carquest will have them. It's a plug n play thing.

I just installed LEDs all around my truck for exterior lights (except headlights of course. But those are going HID
). Tail / stop / turn, backup, license plate, cargo / third stop lamp, front turn signal.
I used the 45 LED tower for the turn signal front and tail light in the rear:
45-LED Tower Type 3157 Bulb Specifications
And I'm 99% that the flasher I replaced with is this one (EP27L):

Hope that helps

Thanks for the info guys. I am searching for a true LED replacement light fixture for the front instead of just a bulb. Found one on eBay but it doesn't give a lot of details and was hoping someone had tried this or had another suggestion.

I went with 05+ headlights and just the LED bulb replacement. Headlights from headlightsdepot.com - I think it turned out looking much better than previous (2000 truck).
But if you're looking for LED front fixtures I'm not sure. I know Recon has rear fixtures but haven't seen fronts.
