Do you mean source code? It's not hard to write one otherwise.
Manuals exist. Examples from the 60's must certainly exist.
Note that we're not talking about F77 here, but rather a very limited
dialect; something that could be run on a 360/20 or 1620. Consider
the 4K FORTRAN for the PDP-8. Wasn't that cross-compiled on a PDP-6?
Were there ever any tiny Algol-60 subsets marketed?

How about
FORTRAN--say FORTRAN II or USA BASIC FORTRAN? Very small
language; very few statement types and historically correct. Can be
(and was) implemented on just about anything. You don't need
registers, stacks or any of that fancy stuff.
Where would you find something like that?
