Why don't they just produce the entire body using the original tooling, like they do with Camaros and Mustangs, it would be expensive, but beats working with rust any day.
That gives you entire new, clean, straight,c lean metal to chop, or slam, instead of destroying a original classic.

I know us guys an gals up here in Canada would love to have those cabs and boxes. You wouldn't believe what we have to save and work with. If we could get a break on the shipping and our government TAXES. I'm sure that a bunch of us Canuks could come together and pick up what you good ol boys are willing to part with. Also on the wish list, how about some cheaper roller lifters for the 400s!!! At 800.00 bucks for a set it's very prohibitive for many to upgrade to this level. John

I would like to see the factory fresh air intake pieces reproduced. The piece that connects to the core support and the flex pipe that leads to the air filter housing. I have a 77 f150 with the 351m and cant find those pieces anywhere.

1973/79 F100/350: There were SIX different types. Ford sold them two different ways:

1) With the plastic ductwork that attaches to the core support as an assembly. The other end of the hose clamps to the duct & valve (snorkel) that attaches to the air cleaner.

2) The flexible hose was available by itself, can also be purchased at myriad autoparts stores. The same 'universal' flexible hose was used on 1970's everything: Passenger Car/F100/350/Econoline/Bronco.

D3OZ-9A624-B .. Flexible Fresh Air Hose / 2 5/16" x 3 11/16" x 11" long / Obsolete / 9 available NOS

D7TZ-9A624A .. Hose & Duct Assy / Obsolete / 1977 F100/350 all V8's / Obsolete / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

If there is any parts which should really be produced. I would say they are:
-Drip rails
-Upper body parts of cab
-vinyl inserts for door pannels
-Rear crew cab doors
-camper special box which you could cut a hole in another bed and weld this in and have a camper special bed (I would kill for this)
.
A lot of people on here are saying about how they want parts to be reproduced but cheaper. Well your just asking for the impossible. It cant be done with the cost of shipping, dyes and other stuff. If they could have they would have, why do you think paco, hose, **** and chang make almost all our reproduction parts now as it is.
As for reproducing whole cabs and beds. Honestly the demand just isn`t there yet or mabye ever will be. You can buy and build a bed from LMC sheetmetal but its like $3000 just for the metal, no assembly or shipping or you can just buy a original rust free perfect flawless bed for $1500 done. Same thing goes for cabs, Why would I buy a repop metal crewcab body for like $12000 when I can go down south and buy myself a whole near perfect crewcab truck for $7000. If this kind of stuff ever happens it will only be when their demand goes up more and more idiots have destroyed them.
Thats just been my rant for now .

I picked up a full set of these molding pieces from a junk yard the other day for $45!!!!! A STEAL!!! I'm in the process of cleaning them up and don't need 'em for my Ford but thought I could make a few bucks by cleaning them up and selling them. So if you or anyone one reading this needs a full set in great shape, message me!!! Here's a couple pics of the set along with a before and after look of a piece I did yesterday.

i got one for ya. A couple months ago, a buddy and I went to check out a 4100 carb a buy had for sale. He advertised it to have a complete rebuild... ;o( When we saw it, it looked far from being rebuilt. THAN I looked on the shelf next to use. There was a large mason jar FULL of carb tags. When I picked it up to look at it - he said those are all the carbs he has rebuilt. I looked at my buddy, we turned around and walked out. We said nothing to him as we got in the truck. What more can ya say......

Fixed

There is one hub available NOS. I would buy at least 3 sets of these. I have lots of complete hubs, they just need centers.
