Besides Dennis Carpenter, what has everyones source been for body parts, electrical, mechaniical, wheels, tires (white wall), fenders, gauges, beds etc.

I have a 51.

Thanks

 

MACs catalog is a good source and they will send you one for free and i also use LMC trucks, they are both really good and are fairly close for the prices.

Check Ebay too. I have found a few parts for my 48 on Ebay. Also, Sacramento Vintage Ford and FTE are a good sources. I have bought wheels and hubcaps from Pete Paulsen. For beds check with Mar-K or Dan Carpenter.

 

You can also check Glen Marion website. http://www.glennmarionparts.com/ford_trucks.html
He has a lot of body parts that he has restored and primed. Trouble is there are no pictures.

 

You can get alot of mechanical stuff from NAPA.

Sacremento Vintage Ford has the best and most complete catalog I have seen. Worth getting as a reference even if you end up buying the part from someone else. Sac V catalog has photos and good diagrams for just about everything in the catalog. You can also call their toll free order number and ask for "parts" to get questions answered. I am building a 56 F100 and have ordered many parts from them and their quality and service is very good.

I am not buying stuff from them exclusively and always compare prices. They are competitive on most things.

Good luck.

 

I just got a catalog yesterday from Concours Parts out of Carson City Nevada. Their catalog is nice with just about everything.

I'm doing a lot of cost comparison, especially for the crating cost that seem to run between $75 to $100 extra for large parts, such as the left and right bed panels.

 

So-Cal Speed Shop has a decent truck catalog with comparable prices. Joblot in Queens NY has a lot of mechanical stuff too. Mack Products in Moberly MO for bed stuff and Northern Classic Trucks for floor pans. And I like ebay too, you can find lots of NOS stuff on there. I also got a set of chrome smoothie wheels and caps for $260 including shipping, brand new on ebay.

 

I have used Mid Fifty with some success. They are out of Memphis I think for east coast. http://www.midfifty.com

I have also used National Parts Depot out of Charlotte. Mixed results. http://www.nationalpartsdepot.com

I have used Obsolete Ford Parts out of Oklahoma.

Here's my bigass link list from which a person could probably build a truck from scratch... I mostly order from Sacramento Vintage Ford and Obsolete Ford Parts and have been happy with both.
