Well 1st off, Welcome to FTE!
What "Parts" specifically are you in need of?
Now, for things you Might not wish to read.
Our "Orphan Years Trucks, '57-'60", are not as Popular w/ Collectors, Rodders, Customizers & w/ Dealers marketing Replacement parts, so there are Rather few out there.
Salvage Yards for some Items are going to be Your Only Choice.
NumberDummy is putting to gether a Salvage run in April, so you might wish to contact him about the particular's.
Just for Future reference, FoMoCo tagged the term "Flareside" onto that particular bodystyle, while "Bow-ties" are called "Stepsides" & these terms have been TM'd by the respective companies.

LMC truck has catalogs for our trucks, I have gotten pretty much everything I need from them. NAPA and other parts stores have some things, the small stuff. And Sacramento Vintage Ford has quite a few custom and other assorted parts for these beasts. The best thing is LMC sends the catalogs for free.

He's correct about the Small parts & LMC, John's F-Funhundred are the best for our years of trucks, though the Tough stuff to find I was writing about is going to be the Sheet Metal for repalcement parts.
By-the-by, you can also find a Lot of what you need on e-Bay, that's where I've found the majority of my replacement parts, Used & N.O.S..

Welcome to the board!!
Its always good to have another representative of the forgotten years around here. I don't currently own a "frigerator" but I have had a couple of 1960's in the past. The wide beds are my favorites in that body style (especially with a big back window). When you get a chance take some pics of your project and get a gallery set up. We love to look at pics!
What are your plans for your truck? Are you going the factory perfect restoration route, quasi restoration with modern upgrades, the completely wild full blown custom route, or something in the middles somewhere? Whatever your plans there's probably someone around here who has been there and done that and can answer any question that you might have.
Here's a handful of links to get you started. CHeck out the sponsors section on this site also.

Good luck with it

I don't know any catalogs but I have had some luck with www.fordbarn.com in getting parts. This site is just a bunch of ford guys that have parts that they want to get rid of. Just leave an add of the parts your looking for and they email you back. Seems like a good place to start. Good luck!
