Hey everyone. My brother, Darrin, and I have a 51 F1 (stamped and titled 52) and we've started the teardown. We're in Vancouver, BC and are wondering if anyone out there can point us to local parts and, quite soon, a very good sandblaster / primer. Thanks for your time. Darrin and Joe

 

Question for an answer. Do you have NAPA AUTO PARTS in CA? Down in the states they are a good source for parts for trucks back to the 1940's. I am sure some northerners will jump in with more info!

Hot Rods and Classics in Chilliwack is a place that comes to mind for new stuff.

I have an original and correct 51/52 rear bumper if you need one. It's in good shape.

I'm in the other CA (California).

 

You may end up getting some parts from the resto parts places here in the US.

I posted these links in your other thread but it may have gotten overlooked. It lists the web sites for the resto-vendors you may need. At least you can do some price comparisons.

Hey look everyone, it's Morris! Long time no see!

 

Hey I`m always around...usually just lurkin`.
I`ve ordered alot of new parts from the Old Car Center for my 56 M100 that`s now being prepped for new paint, a shade of blue just a touch different than my 56 F350. Then it won`t look like this any more.

 

Best thing about the Old Car Centre is they bring in stock from The US dealers like LMC, Denis Carpenter, etc and you do not have to worry about all the stupid charges like Customs, Shipping etc etc....... their prices are very similar to the US outlets but not so much of a gouge for customs and shipping.... they must bring it in bulk or have some kind of a cross-border shopping break you also, being local, won't have to pay the shipping charges from them to your house... just the price of fuel
