Hello from Ohio

I am actually here to try and help my computer disfunctional father in finding some parts for his 1960 F-250 Styleside! In particular he has been looking everywhere for a tailgate. When he purchased his truck a couple of years ago it had not even been started by the previous owner in over 7 years. Needless to say he had to redo just about every moving part in the thing to get it to run. The body is almost mint. Just a couple small rust marks. At one time it was a fire truck. My father, being a captain on the fire department, found this even more appealing. He has a tailgate for another similar year truck but it does not work! If anyone is interest in that one I will find out more. But for now if you could give me a hand I would be very very greatful!
