I'm travelling in San Diego this week, any good truck parts sources nearby ?

 

Well, not really. We have a C&G Ford parts for new/repro stuff, but other than that, it's pretty lean down here as far as Junk yards and car parts swap meets.

I kno wparts are hard to get in Canada. So, if you need anything you are having trouble finding, you might want to visit C&G to see if they have it. I'd call them first in case they have to order it. They are actually in Escondido which is about a 45 minute drive from Downtown San Diego or Mission Valley (the two places you are most likely to be staying unless you have friends here). Here is their link:

Have fun!

 

All depends on what you are looking for...I have a stock of 53-56 parts in my garage out in Campo. I have a 53 rolling chassis, a registered 54 cab, fenders, valences, bumpers, etc. Send me a PM or email...

 

I'm in San Jose, CA (close to San Francisco) and have a lot of parts laying around. If you're driving through, stop on by.

 

Had a great week in SD; back home last night. Didn't find any parts places but did see a couple old Ford trucks, '53 and a panel. Didn't stop as my co-pilot had sight seeing on her timetable. Did stop at one rod shop; in Santee, had great weather and food. Thanks to all that replied; may see you down the road.

I worked on my project today, replaced the valve cover gaskets, as one leaked. Found one vacumn line that needed plugging, as I removed the EGR and Air pump, so still idling a little high, but smoother. Hope to get the engine running better, the EEC seems confused !
