Chris, any big truck shop should be able to give you leads. I'd start at places that do truck frame straightening and alignments.
If you want to.biy the parts yourself try Job Lot Auto Parts in NY. They quite a few parts.for the bigger trucks. You local NAPA OE other good quality auto parts store might also be able to help.

Did you replace those steel brake lines? At minimum, pull them loose from the frame clamps and inspect them closely. My F4 was pretty much rust free but the lines had rusted where they clamp to the frame. Years of dirt and moisture had set a trap. Just a catastrophic failure waiting to happen had I not changed them out.

I got my hoses from Mac's. They have various lengths.

I always check with a.local.supplier first even if the price is a bit higher. The price usually comes on at about the same once you calculate shipping in. Some parts of the country the choice of local suppliers might be limited but Chris lives near Chicago, I can usually find parts in the Milwaukee area fairly easy. I like dealing locally, I feel I have more control and if there's a problem I can deal with it face to face with the vendor.

Related story of staying local: A Mopar guy friend tried to find a tie rod end local.
"Sure, we can get it for that old car"
Price for that tie rod end? $125.00 for a part that I can buy on line for less than $20.00.
Shop local but be sure you're shopping smart.
Chuck knows what he is talking about, what is available and is quick and easy. I value my time.
