So-Cal junkyards.

Hi y'all!

I need the following parts for my 70 F-250;

Rad support (360 V-8)
Driver-side battery tray
Driver-side inner fender
Fan shroud
Driver-side door (uncut with no speaker holes.)
Passenger-side door (uncut with no speaker holes.)
West coast jr. mirrors (for one of my friends with a F-250)
Philco AM radio
Radio opening face-plate.

I really hope to find it all in one place, anyone know of a yard in So-Cal where I can get some one-stop-shopping done? I want to do this on Saturday.

Thanx in advance
Dano

I got the parts I needed. Thanx for the suggestions on yards, I had to go to a few yards to get the parts in red.

START RANT:
What makes me mad is that I wanted to go back and get a rad support and fan shroud, but when I went back a few days later, some idiot broke the shroud in order to get the fan and then ended up leaving the fan on the ground. On another truck there were perfect west coast mirrors, but some dumb$}!# bent the crap out of the frames. I don't understand why people destroy perfectly good parts, just because they don't have a need for them.
END RANT:

That's the drawback to the pick-your-part type places. People thrash on stuff with no regard for anything other than what they need.

Good to see you found what you were looking for...especially the radio/faceplate.

1968/72 F100/350: There are TWO different radiator supports. They do not interchange.

If the truck has the Super Cooling radiator, the opening radius is much larger than with the standard, X/C, A/C radiators.

This means the radiator mounting flanges for the standard, X/C and A/C radiators will not bolt to the Super Cooling support!

And...there are two different fan shrouds.

D3TZ8146C (replaced C8TZ8146K) .. Fan Shroud / Available from Ford.

Fits: 1968/76 F100/350 360/390 except with Super Cooling radiator.

MSRP: $133.27 // PARTSGUYED.COM price: $95.95.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: Be aware that 1967 doors are one year only. 1968/72 doors are different because these have door lock *****.

The 1967's radio is also one year only.

Thx for the good info - i'll keep these guys in mind when I can start hunting for interior parts. Eventually like to trade up to the newer (hopefully heated) seats and the rear bench that folds down for the dog.
