[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Jan-03 AT 10:31 PM (EST)]never had to do oil lines, but a couple of very thorough sources of parts are:
www. macsautoparts.com
www.vintage-ford.com
www.F100.com
Start with these, or click on the "online Store" on the right side of this page.

I'm lookig at page 88 in the Mac's Antique Auto Parts catalog (1-800-777-0948). I see: new oil pumps; oil pump rebuild kits; oil pump drive shafts; and oil pump pickup tube & screen listed for the 223 motor.
Their tech people are pretty good, so if you call and describe what you're looking for, they'll likely be able to figure out what it is you need.
Good luck,
Daryl

If the lines were in that bad shape, how nasty is the rest of the engine? Maybe it isn't worth repairing or rebuilding. There must be other 223's out there in wrecking yards, either to scrounge the lines off or that are better candidates for rebuilding. The 223 was used in a lot of Ford trucks and cars.
