TeeBird is in Exton, PA and deals mainly with 55 thru 57 Thunderbirds and 55/56 Full Size Fords.  I'm sure they'll have stuff that'll fit but it probably wont be correct for a 60 Edsel.  You also might want to check some of the F-100 sites like "Slick 60s" as many Ford trucks used Y-Blocks well into the 60s.  Some things like oil pans and valve covers with the embossed Ford logo are probably dead on replacements.

Another source is Concours Parts in Nevada. Or try NAPA for the fuel pump. Those wire hose clamps may be original in design, but my experience with them is they are a bitch to work with. Unless you are doing an exact restoration, I'd use something else like stainless gear clamps...
