Where do I look for parts... new and used. I just bought a '69 Ranchero 500. It is rust-free, solid and pretty straight. I need some parts to bring it along to a nice looking driver. Right now I'm checking eBay, Craig's List, and Dearborn Classics. Where else can I look?

Welcome to FTE

I have the Dearborn Classics catalog (dearbornclassics.com), so I know what they offer.

FTE has 5 sponsors that offer parts for your Ranchero...go to the main page of the 1961/66 F Series Truck Forum and look for the links for the following sponsors...all of whom offer free catalogs.

MAR-K / Auto Krafters / National Parts Depot / Blue Oval Truck Parts / Mac's Antique Auto Parts. In addition, there's Green Sales in Cincinnati, Ohio who sells Genuine Ford obsolete Parts.

Other sellers include Dennis Carpenter, (located in Concord NC, just up the road from Lowe's Motor Speedway) who sells NOS (new old stock) obsolete parts and first class made in the US of A reproduction parts.

Something to consider: The 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com (also on ebay).

Every part your Ranchero has is illustrated, plus you get all the part numbers. The parts catalog can double as an assembly/dis-assembly manual, because of the 100's of illustrations. A worthwhile investment for less than $25.00
