I grew up wanting a T myself Matt, my older cousin picked me up from school in the 6th grade in his T bucket (1966)and took me home, I was hooked.
Here in south central Missouri they are about $1200.00 for a good body and frame with front end. There is alot to go on one after that. You would have to have no frills at all and it would be close but with a good wrecking yard close by you could have something on the road I think. There is one in our car club that has a ford 4 banger in it and it was bought for around 5k and they drive it everyday.
As far as you falcon, go through all the net sits you can think of and find and just see. I am sure you can find some for sale out there some where, say "Deals on Wheels" for ezample.
I have a couple good junk yards round here with older cars in them( 1 of them has 2 identical '46-'48 Fleetlines sitting just outside the walls ). My grandfather has an old set of the 1930's car, headlight buckets, 7" I think, the chrome is gone but, they could be cleaned up and painted, Engine/ trans would also not be a problem, lots of cheap S10's with rotted bodies to offer there drivetrain, like a 2.8 or 4.3 Vortec. I gotta finish the '51 first though.
