First off, this site is really, really great. I'm in the process of just beginning to restore my '71 F-250 Camper Special and the posts here have been tremendously helpful, especially the ones posted by NumberDummy (I'm a total part number nerd/geek, too.)

Anyway, I see in a lot of the posts that he responds to - especially the ones where people are looking for an NOS or obsolete part - he posts what looks like search engine results, showing nationwide vendors that have a particular part in stock.

Like this, for example, from a previous post:

C7SZ13482B (replaced C5SZ13482B, C5SZ13482D) .. Stop Lamp Relay / Marked: C5SB-13A410-B, C6SB-13A410-B, C8SB-13A410-C / Obsolete

Fits: 1965/66 F100/250 Camper Special & 1967 F100/350 Camper Special / Use with Camper or Trailer Coach.

Fits: 1966 Thunderbird from 11/17/1965 & 1967 Thunderbird / Use with sequential turn signals.

Fits: 1968 Thunderbird / Use with Speed Control.

C7SZ13482B =

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Lenexa KS has ONE = 913-220-5746.

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has ONE = 615-443-3086.

LINCOLN OLD PARTS STORE in Clearwater FL has ONE = 727-445-1091.

Now, I can almost swear that I've been to the auto parts search engine he gets these results from before, but I can't recall the name. Anyone (NumberDummy?) care to help with the name of the search engine? Thanks in advance!

 

Got this thread from you part # doing a search.
The website you may be thinking of is https://www.partsvoice.com/

 

Dude... the thread is from 2011 and the OP who joined in 2011 is currently shown with six posts to his/her credit since that date. What can you deduce from those facts???

... And apparently restoration of the 71 didn't get very far.

 

But at least he had some input to give, that was a plus!

 

PartsVoice.com = Registration is required, searching for parts is free.

rearcounter.com = No registration, no fee to search for parts, just sign on and type the part number.

Several years ago, NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX purchased JST AUTOMOTIVE.

 

It sucks that they just left, but getting on this thread will at least give other people an answer to where number dummy gets his vast knowledge from.
