Where to source these items?
LMC has a few of these thing but only a few.....
shortbed pass side front lower half
cab corners
cab mounts front
center cab supports
both sides floor pans
the rubber mounts and hardware for front of cab and radiator support.
thats enought to get me started for right now with this project
Also does 70s model rad support fit these also?

shortbed pass side front lower half- I don't know anyone who is selling this part. Your best source is to find a donor. I found a complete bed to get the parts I needed cheap in my area.
Dennis Carpenter or Blue Oval Ford Parts should have everything else you need.
A couple of other notes, The floor boards out of 65-73 are all the same. I have heard they are the same all the way up to 79, but all the catalogs show 65-73.
Unfortunately the radiator supports for 66 are not available. I haven't gotten to that point yet, but I plant to modify a 64 support for my 66 short bed.
Good luck. Keep up with the forums, you can always get a few different perspectives on any issue and mostly good advice on any issue you come across.

Absolutely Carolina Classics over LMC. Or Flashback F100s. Either way you are talking to people who actually know our trucks, not just some guy sitting behind a phone who drives a Subaru to work.
The 70s rad supports WILL NOT WORK. You need to either find the rare as hen's teeth '66 or simply modify one of the 61-64 repro ones to work (it ain't that hard).
No one makes bed side patch panels, or bed floor patches, at present.
