Hi, Taking the family on a driving trip down the coast from Vancouver, Canada to Anehiem, California for the week of May 18 to June 1. Going down the Oregon Coast way and then up the I5 Hwy route. Was wondering if anyone along the way has any 1953 to 56 rust free fenders or a rad support panel in great shape for a 1956. Inner fenders are needed too. I have a 1956 Cab with 2 sets of great doors that I want to put together in the future and a 1953 on frame that could use a bit of up grading.
My other projects that are needing things are my daily work truck, a 1970 C**vy long box that needs fenders and doors and the way in the future project as it will suck funds, is a 1936 Oldsmobile coupe.
Will be driving my F250 and will have pretty much an empty short box.
If any one has anything that may help for any of these vehicles and are close by on our route, leave a message here or PM me.
Thanks,
Mymerc

 

I've worked with all of the below in WA & OR -- good folks. Also keep an eye on the Portland area Craigslist -- for some reason I am always seeing lots of mid-50's F-100 parts and trucks advertised. Must have been a big dealer in that area long ago.

Check craigslist.com for all of the areas that you'll be going through. You should be able to find something.

Going to Disneyland? A few blocks away is another place to spend your money >> FTE sponsor >> Blue Oval Truck Parts (714-721-3621). There's a huge wrecking yard in Sun Valley, CA (another suburb of LA) that specializes in rust free sheet metal. I forget the name, but he sells in Hemmings. Off I-5 in Chico CA, is another huge yard with lots of Fords: Big M. In Sacramento: Sacramento Vintage Ford Parts, and also the Towe Ford Museum. I-5 south of Tracy is rather barren of towns, so you might take Hwy 99 instead. There are several yards along 99. There are several Chevrolet truck obsolete parts stores in Orange County, dunno the names, so let your fingers do the walking thru the Yellow Pages. For Olds parts, I suggest you join the Olds Club of America.

 

I want to Thank You for your support of the Disneyland Resort. My husband and I hope you enjoy our little land. But right down the street is a great place that was referred to me John's F Fun Hundreds.

Great People and Great Parts.

Have a Safe Trip

 

Forgot to mention that you should definitely stop at All American Classics in Vancouver, WA. It's a parts yard full of almost every car/truck you can think of. They allow you to walk the yard. I was there a few years ago and was amazed at the amount of old tin. They had a good selection of 48-52 Ford trucks at the time. They should have 53-56 as well. Even if they don't, you should still stop by there.

Your entire vacation could be taken up with visiting/hunting down vintage tin.

Have fun!

Just a slight correction: Big M is in Williams about 1 hour north of Sacramento. In Orange County in the City of Orange (about 20 minutes from Disneyland) is a great place called C W Moss. You'll like it. Also, two blocks east is a great 50s style dinner. Jag

 

Here are a bunch of parts I found in the local craigslist. However, they're located closer to the coast, near Highway 1.

If your coming down the I-5, you'll be passing my house when you go pass Magic Mountain Amusement park. Sorry no, fenders, etc. Next to Anaheim, is a city called Wilmington, there is a classic car junk yard known as Memory Lane. They have the fenders, inner fenders, everything you can imagine and often better prices then on auction sites. I've gotten lots of parts from them and am very happy. They even have guys that take the parts off for you.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. Heading out early Friday and will be out for 10 days. Will definitely check out a yard down around Aneheim and see what I can find. Going to look in at one or two of the suppliers in the area also. Hopefully will find some thing along the way.
