The Ford Barn

I'm interested in restoring a 1938-47 ford COE. I'm interested in restoring it to stock. I have never had anything to do with a COE. How easy is it to find parts ? I'm not referring to common things like flathead parts, but things that would be unique to the commercial trucks like brake shoes, transmission parts, rearend parts, etc ?

How many of those unique items on a COE would be the same on say a F4 F5 grain truck like you would see on a farm ? Were the frames the same from COE's to a F4 F5 farm/grain truck ?
