I pull the info directly from my year specific ford shop manuals. They are invaluable reference when working on the trucks and general knowledge of what is in them.
For 63 you need a 61 100 to 800 shop manual and the 62 63 100 to 800 supplement.
They are available on disc reasonably cheap and are generally more accurate than a Motors or Chilton.
