Hello everyone.

Recently I purchased a truck out of someone's "back yard" (actually an alley behind their house) for $150. I put a starter on the truck where it sat and drove it home.

1967 Ford F100
300ci 6 cyl single barrel carb
LWB
4 speed manual.
Keystone rims that appear to be decent except for the degradation of the chrome (easily fixed by a rim specialist if they are worth anything).

The truck has seen better days, but the only real body damage is on the passenger fender which is trashed. Otherwise it is some minor rust through at the bottom of the doors/driver fender and the inner fender wells. Also the floor pan on the driver's side is rusted through close to the door. In addition, some enterprising young man who drove it in the past put a sport steering wheel on that is way too small for a non-power steering truck like this. On a good note, the door panels, headliner and dash are in tremendously good shape along with the sun visors which appear almost never to have been used. All the gauges work appropriately and the speedometer appears to be very close if not right on calibration. All the electrical appears to be fully functional except for the blinker unit. The lights come on, but nothing flashes.

Overall, the truck isn't in that bad a shape, just needs some maintenance, tlc, and of course some money.

Now that all the rambling is done, I want to ask if anyone knows of some good parts sources. I am in need of some parts such as the aforementioned passenger fender, wheel wells, original steering assy w/horn, a flywheel (the one in the truck lamentably is missing a few teeth), and unfortunately some parts for the driver window mechanism (window won't go up or down and is open about 3").

This is very similar to the truck I learned to drive on owned by my grandfather, so far from an investment it is a sentimental thing. I am looking to restore the truck (with some minor modifications such as v8 instead of the six, and perhaps a nice radio), so any advice or hints/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
