welcome Craig. There are several places to order parts. Classic Hauler, LMC, Midfifty and on from folks on here. Looking forward to seeing you ride.

You may already be aware, but it's a commonly asked question, the doors and cab are the same for all series trucks F1-8, so any parts you find for the interior, glass, doors, seals, etc., will be the same for your truck as it is for the smaller ones normally listed in the parts catalogs. The main difference you'll run into will be chassis parts, since obviously they're much bigger.

Good luck with your project. Cheers!

Does the parts commonality also apply to the Mercury line? The reason I ask is I have a 1949 Mercury m68 which I understand to be like the f3.

The only thing different between Ford and Mercury trucks essentially is the trim and badging. Mechanically, they are identical. Yes, the M68 is the same as the F68 in Canada before 1951, or F3 in the US (and Canada '51 and later).
