Saw this one a coupe of days ago. Funny thing is, there was a blue shortbed 4x4 two blocks up the street. Didn't get a pic of the shortbed, so got this one.
Norton72, I spoke with my friend that owns the NAPA store today to make sure it was okay to post his contact info. He told me to go ahead.
The store is located in Brady, Texas. Moore's Automotive, owner is Allan Moore. 325-597-3421. He keeps a lot of parts that apparently many parts stores don't. He does have to order some or have them sent from NAPA warehouses in other parts of the country, but it amazes me how much he actually has in the store. He once located a water pump for an old Cat engine for me that was supposedly the last one known to exist. Found it in a warehouse in Illinois.
If you don't mind paying shipping, I'll bet he can fix you up with just about anything you need. He ran his own service station for years before buying the NAPA store, so he knows vehicles inside and out. Most of the people in parts stores nowadays are just button-pushers with no real experience.
Good luck!

Reason: add information
Here's another good find. I was at a Fire House in East Palo Alto, CA that was under construction and one of the construction crews has this fine F250 Highboy. I parked next to his truck and snapped a few photos.
I posted this last year in another thread about Dents still doing the job .... but it'll fit well here.
This one is still working to serve it's community volunteer fire dept .... saw it not long ago.
Well, that picture is gone, I was gonna update it ... but here's my old buddy Eddie working his '79
I was going to post a pic of the last Dent on my kids route then realized I already had it on here. It's the one I spotted at Lowe's that looks like an ex-Uhaul with a replacement bed.
This guy was in one he!! of a hurry, I almost missed him!
Has a temp registration and I don't think one body panel matches. looks like he just got it running and is now working on getting it painted.
EDIT 7/2: (I deleted the previous pic to save space in my album.)
I was nearly home when my wife texted me saying I needed to go to the store. Great! Do I continue in the direction I'm going so I don't have to fight traffic to turn around and go bit farther to the one store or do I double back and hit the one I just passed?
I doubled back and lo and behold there is the speedy build project that I almost missed a couple of days ago tucked up in the far corner of the shopping center parking lot. Sometimes my DENTar amazes even me.
Definitely needs work and needs the mirrors relocated but looks like it's a strong runner.
Here's a landscaper's "Rust Bucket Special" for Steve.
I saw this one pull into the grocery store parking lot just as I was getting out of the car. I managed to get the camera up just as it passed in front of us. The wife gave me a crusty look, "Seriously?"
