I was sanding on a fender in my basement earlier today and at one point I looked around at the stash of my Ford parts. I can't be the only Ford part hoarder... can I? Here's a small inventory list of what's down there...

1. Five 80-86 fenders
2. Two 80-86 Hoods
3. Two mint 80-86 OEM dash pads in blue
4. A pile of radio and cluster bezels all in excellent condition and of varying styles
5. Tach clusters... 80-86 diesel tach, 80-86 gas tachs, 92-96 tachs
6. Non-Tach Clusters.. varying years spanning 67-96
7. One 80-86 dually fender in black
8. grilles, taillights, markers... more and more........
9. Rust free front clip off an 80-86 truck
10. Mint door panels for 80-86 in blue
11. Misc. headliners
12. bumpers of varying styles

and that's not even close to being half of it..

So fess up... who else has this horrible habit of hoarding parts?

 

not me
all i got is an extra tail gate and a t18 shift ****!

 

Lol. I've got the visor to my pickup in the van, the dash cluster out of an '88 f250 in a tub in the shed along with the replacement bumper(also came from an '88 f250) and the origional tailgate to my pickup behind the house inbetween the house and the shed under a 2' pile of snow lol.

 

two spare trucks sitting in michigan still...

 

i have an 81,85,and 86 i don't have any spare parts.

 

aluminum treadplate running boards for 80-86, various extra gaskets for 300 six, extra antennae assembly, class 3 tow hitch off an E350.

 

Distributor, coil and plug wires from an '84 F-150, an extra Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carb, a couple EGR components from the '84, and a couple other odds and ends.

 

I've been holding on to a nos 6 port fuel selector valve, a red armrest, a couple of marker light lenses and my last set of spark plugs...

 

I have an A/C compressor, and the original window crank for the passenger side.

 

1bbl carb for a 300, couple extra bezels, extra pad that I am going to do Em's mod on, went to the jy today and got a couple of door panels to put in my F-100, but they aren't the sliding lock type (which it came with) so I am going to paint them to match and just get an aftermarket electric lock setup so I just have to push a button to lock em up.

Man I wish you were closer to GA I would try and talk you out of these parts lol. The only parts I have sitting around are all of the jumk in my bed that I have replaced from the truck as well as 2 junk AOD transmissions I need to get rid of soon. Heh.

 

All these are on my parts shelf...

I have about four of every smog part on my engine that's obsolete. So if one goes bad, I have spares. I only have one spare engine computer though, and one spare spark retard EGR solenoid .

I have three clusters. One tach cluster, and one non tach cluster with ammeter and oil gauges. 1981-1986. And one partial tach cluster for a 1980 that I've canibalized. Printed circut is bad on the 1980 cluster.

I also have 7 complete am/fm cassette radios in different states of disrepair. One works on the shelf with parts of the other 6 in it. Also the one in my truck I rebuilt I also have a am/fm stereo, and a aftermarket replica of a ford stereo on my shelf.

One nutmeg dash pad, with superficial crack in speaker hole.

One Custom radio bezel, 1980-1981, black mesh weave, for radio and with clock, but the mounting holes are broke.

One Black mesh weave instrument cluster bezel, 1981-1986 non a/c...

One factory slider window for 1973-1981 with broken glass.

One rear window seal for 1973-1981 with factory slider...

One Motorcraft Oil filter, one Motorcraft fuel filter, and one motorcraft air filter, and five quarts of Motorcraft 15w40. I live aways from town.

One duraspark ignintion module Blue grommit. One Ignition coil, Under seat.

One Nutmeg Slide lock for passenger side. Repaired with screws.

one headlamp switch, one wiper switch non intermitant.

One dome lamp, without map lights.

All I can think of, but lots more in a box in the closet. .

 

hey a set of aluminum bezels would be cool, i'll pay for shipping!

dont guess anyone would have the bolt that goes to the bottom of the alternator bracket on the 300? somone stole mine, or a fuel sending unit (floaty assembly in the tank) or a good A/C compressor.... thats in my want list

but i've got a good cluster (no tach) a glove box (that i need to put back but dont have the time) and a **** ton of chevy parts, they were just lying around[they really do fall off ya know!]

4 good chevy S10 4x4 aluminum alloy factory wheels (pretty sweet for free) 3 fender flairs for chevy S10, and somthing else i'm forgetting

EDIT: what the hell ever happened to EM? havent seen her since i got back? and i'm leaving again come the 4th

 

Glad to hear I'm not alone in this!
