C75WU380377
C75 = C750
W = 332 4V gas V8, 173 HP @ 3600 RPM (Lincoln Y-block)
U = Louisville Assembly Plant
380377 = 1963 series number, from February 1963
Lincoln Y-blocks can be hard to find parts for. Wheels in '63 might be widowmakers and hub piloted, hard and expensive to replace.
Not much if anything is reproduced for the C series, so you would be looking at salvage yards for body parts etc. Good news is they are pretty much the same throughout production.
If there is a warrnty card on the door, more info can be decoded or will be clear from the card itself.
Let us know if you have any other questions, sorry for the delay & good luck!

These engines are commonly are referred to as "Lincoln Y blocks", however, they are also referred as the "truck Y blocks", but the Lincoln Y block term stuck, both were introduced in '52. But the 302 and 332 are unique, they are " extra heavy duty Y blocks". They have heavy duty features Lincoln car engines never had, heavy duty sodium cooled valves are gear driven camshafts ( no timing chains), Unfortunately, as 85e150 mentioned , parts are hard to find.
