Item #1 I recommend going to salvage yard and getting any truck carpet and cut to fit.
Item #2 Leaf springs up measure lenght and do the same; prolly up to 79 model will be a swap; not 100% sure.
#3 Good luck! Only repop's or cut out & use own metal skills to repair.
Item #4 A 10 to 15 dollar purchase any parts store. Autozone etc.
Item #5 AM was only option; if P/O cut dash (sucks); I would purchase a 8 track AM/FM. Gives its a cool look. If not ebay, & swap meets item for AM radio.
Item #6 Only parts are repop; and classifieds is your best bet or salvage yards.
Item # 7 repops or as I like on Rat's / Old Skool peep mirrors around 20 bucks a piece.
Item # 8 Where you live a got a Mr. Gasket complete never installed; if your close I'll sell; but there cheap at parts store as well.
Sorry can't help ya as much as you prolly would want a better answer but it get's the mind ticking.

1> Carpet
Only available in 1965/66 Rangers, the other trucks came with a rubber floormat. Carpeting is available from aftermarket sources like smsautofabrics.com.

2> leaf springs
Available from autoparts stores, JC Whitney and etc. 1957/72 F100 2WD rear springs are the same length (24" > > eyebolt < < 28") and width (2 1/4"). Some 1965/72 F250 2WD rear springs are the same length/width, but beefier. Some F250's have Flex-O-Matic rear springs. The width is the same, but the springs are longer. 1973/79 F100/150/250 is not the same.

3> cab corners
Reproduced, available from repro parts sellers.

4> antenna
Reproduced, available from repro parts sellers. The same one C3AZ18813C fits 1961/66 F100/1100's, 1961/64 Galaxies.

5> radio
ebay, junkyard, Craigslist, Hemmings Motor News, car swap meets.

6> bed possibly
Which type?

7> mirrors
Which type?

8> 3 speed floor shifter, whole contraption

Since Ford never offered it, I haven't a clue.

my truck had a fleetside. And Someone moved the shifter to the floor,, but they used a 4 speed shifter instead of a 3,, so all the gears r in funny spots. I found cab corners and some leaf springs in a junk yard.
