Made the 50 mile trip today to visit Terry's F-100 Parts today. Only one thing to say, "If you can't find it here, you ain't going to find it anywhere". Two 40' x 120' buildings packed full with trucks and parts. Also a few acres of trucks outside that he hasn't gotten to yet, and still buying. Bruce, one of his employees gave me a tour. Not rushed and loved talking old Ford trucks. Very nice gentleman. Needless to say I was overwhelmed and didn't come prepared. My next trip I will have a list The part I was looking for, emergency brake drum, he had. I am a lucky man to have such a wonderful resource right under my nose. Pictures at the link provided below.

Did you notice any '51 or '52 trucks ?

 

Dave, sounds like a great trip. I just have to figure out how I can get up there with time to spare for a trip out there.

 

Some of those trucks look like they could be driven out and used.

For more pictures just type in his webpage address on the card and go to his webpage.

 

Looks like an interesting place with lots of goodies. Also looks pretty clean and organized.

 

I didn't notice any, but in all fairness I was not looking for those. I was pretty much in overload mode!

Joe - Lunch is on me if you come!

Abe - Yes many of the Trucks are driveable. Trucks are pretty much randomly scattered through out the sheds. Parts are organized well in groups throughout.
They also do fiberglass reproduction parts. Good quality and American made.

Joe, did you see the pile of short running boards? Get your butt up there.... take a personal day or a mental health day if you must!

 

You have read my mind. I'm thinking about how to go about doing that. With my father-in -law and his bladder cancer and my sister-in-law just having a stroke (she is 55) I crawled in bed last night exhausted. I hadn't seen my wife since I left for work that morning. I was thinking I need a vacation.

Last night I got an email saying I had a free ticket to the Husker spring game and I also was looking at Elizabeth's track schedule. If she runs the Husker invite this weekend, I might go up alone since my youngest has a basketball tournament. Shoot, just thinking about all this makes me want to go back to bed. But, time to wake the wife and kids.
