Sincerely Ron R

Parts for a 50 year old guitar will be rare. Your best bet would be to find a damaged guitar.

The neck needs to be removed to replace the truss rod. I assume it is broken? At that point the needed neck reset should be done. I have a couple of spare truss rods, but I'm saving them for guitars that I will work on, including the neck reset.

Why do you need a fretboard??

These will be very expensive repairs, more than the guitar is worth.
