If you plan to tour replace them. They all seem to have a bit of wear, the cluster for sure. Are some of the teeth spliting or cracking? Take a few more good shots of the side of the teeth that do the work. The reverse idler is inexpensive the rest not sure. How is the input shaft/gear? If you don't find Ford made gears, check for recommendations. I used MARK gears and they were the best back then. Make sure you fit the slider gears as per Ford bulletins or it may pop out of second if it is too sloppy.

Welcome to the forums and I hope you are getting some ideas. Where are you located? If close I can sell you a good transmission for less than rebuilding yours.
