Stock mufflers for 1963 big block

Does anyone have a source or ideas for where to find stock mufflers for a 1963 Galaxie big block? This would be a 427 8V. The current mufflers on the car are the original-style round canister type located behind the rear wheels. The driver's side is fine, it's stainless steel installed in the 1960s. The passenger side muffler is wearing out. The tailpipe has broken off and sort of fallen into the inside of the muffler; there is just a hole where the tailpipe used to be, with the pipe sitting inside the muffler. So I need to replace it sometime, though it's not a pressing need. Maybe it's a little extra loud...nothing wrong with that!

I find some possible replacements at a Thunderbird parts dealer, Bird Nest. Does anyone know if the dual exhaust '63 T-bird used the same stock muffler as a dual exhaust Galaxie?

That is called a resonator, try a real muffler shop. Many of them have catalogs for stuff like that. Most likely it will be a special order item. Its common for guys to remove one or the other, just depend on one muffler or just on the resonators.
