Hey guys,
I didn't know exactly where to put this but, I went to a guys house looking for truck parts and found a bunch of them! 50 to 80 trucks from the fifties through the eighties! I found the really hard to find parts that I really needed for my 78 F150! Anyway, I thought I would tell ya'll about him just in case you need a good source. . I live not to far from him and didn't think to ask him if he shipped parts but, I'm guessing he does. Just PM me and I will give you his name and phone numbers. Oh, he is in North central Arkansas . I had his name and number listed here but was advised not to do that. So just get in touch with me and I'll get you his number.

regards, Joel

 

Hey thats great! I live about a hour from Jonesboro. In Strawberry actually, you may know where that is. What's the exact location of this place?

 

Hello,
I know where Strawberry is! I'm up in Hardy. This guys place is off of Dan Ave. I think its county road 338. Give him a call he can give you better instructions. What kind of Ford do you have? I remember seeing a 78 or 79 Bronco on Craiglist that was in Strawberry.

Regards, Joel

 

Well you're not too far away. I have a 78 F-150 2wd factory 460. Was long wheel base until last week i shortened it. I bought a shortbed off of another guy in Jonesboro about a year ago. It's lowered just a little. Pretty well makin a weekend hot rod out of it. I nearly bought that bronco that was on craigslist but backed out on it thinking one project was already taking up all my spare time.

 

Yeah, I'm bad about starting to many projects. My Rig is a 78 f150 4x4 short wheel base.

 

Is it a real good idea to post someone's phone # on a public forum?

 

While it is tempting to share good deals my 2¢... I wouldn't want someone else to post up my info unless I gave explicit permission to do so. If the person wants publicity then share away.

 

Shack could have just said if you want his phone # send me a PM. That way only the guys who are actually interested in buying stuff would see the #. But that's just my opinion.

 

I told him what I was doing and he is fine with it. And rather than put me on the spot publicly, you might have just just sent me a a PM about it. I know I would love to get information about a new place to get parts, so I thought others would to.

You guys aren't too far from where I pass through to visit my dad in MO. I slingshot around Walnut Ridge on 67 and see the signs for Hardy and Jonesboro. I usually make a fuel stop in Pocahontas.

 

If you live in Az. area there is a guy in Mesa Az. that collects and sells 75-79 ford trucks and parts for them. At one point he said he had several complete clusters and wanted 40 dollars a pop. He puts a ad on craigslist all the time. If you are interested let me know and I could get you his number

 

Hey Fmc 400, Next time you come through ,go by and take a look at his parts. You will only be 20 miles from him!

 

Hey JJJ do you mean that guy that calls himself Dr. Rick? To say he posts ads on cl all the time is an understatement. I have thought about taking my truck to him to get tuned. Do you know if he is as good as he thinks he is?

 

Does he let you look around and see what he has?

I don't know what he calls himself I have talk to him once but he seemed to know what he was talking about although I have talked to him once but he says he has tons of parts hope he knows because I do need a few parts. I also he knows how to work on them because i also have a few questions. If you find anything out please let me know and if i find anything out I will let you know as well
