Ive seen a good number on trucks over the years...there are 2 variations though...the main guard is the same but there was also a brace kit that was a seperate accessory kit for it.
all in all, not a tough find IMO...farming areas would be a good place to search...or sandbelt wrecking yards...but the thing is, without any bracing, the sucker could/would easily mess up your nose a bit if it gets hit...or you lean over it hard while working on it...I believe theres good pics of the monster in the owners manuals of the 65 and 66 trucks...I got a 66 accessory book for all ford stuff ...originally 32.90...brace kit for it ran 9.35....the brace kit, according to the accy book is different between the F100 4WD and 2WD F100 and 250 trucks. The 2WD and 4WD trucks used different guards as well...keep in mind this is all from the 66 accy booklet...
btw...why part it if its complete and all...63 isnt too common nowadays....

Reason: added info
I have that on my 63 also,,, Ford flatbed 4x4, I really like it,
I would offer $50 for this cow catcher,,, then say heck I'll give ya $100 for the truck so I can take it off at my leisure,,, you never know.
Does the shirt come with it? It looks like it doesn't have any holes and original buttons too! I bet you could get some coin for it at the vintage clothes shop. Don't wash it; it would lose all its value.
Nice Tucson Tin. The hood looks pretty straight! perfect candidate for that cowl hood. The eight lug innie rims are good to have also as are the other tin items. The cab will be a good rust free unit too.

I believe there's good pics of the monster in the owners manuals of the 65 and 66 trucks.
The whole tamale is pictured here: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Illustration Section 82.1, Page 1.
The truck looks pretty good. After pulling the bumper and cleaning out your new "treasures", you should have a pretty decent truck. Do you know if it runs?
