I've been trying to find parts for my '74 pretty much every waking hour.
My search for parts has taken me all around my state.
And though I was tempted to keep it to myself, because this guy is just a really nice dude and he has so much stuff AND loves Fords as much as any of us, I can't keep it a secret.
His name is Todd Cash.
He's in Oroville, Ca. His number is 530-403-9460.
Including some shots of his yard. He wasn't there when I thought about pictures so they're from over the fence.
I'm putting it in the forum because Todd is a great reference. His knowledge of parts and how they swap between years is pretty darn impressive. As is this forum of course.
You can see from the pics how much stuff he has. He has another job, this is his hobby. He pays the rent selling parts.
You guys looking for beds, check it out.

 

Jackpot! What a good fine Marc. Next time you go call me up, I'll be glad to tag along and get a few things.

 

Count me in if ya got room... Or we can bring my SuperCrew.

 

Always have room for a friend and fellow dent fan.

 

Nice find Marc, thanks for posting that.
If I was a little closer (like maybe 2000 miles ) I'd call dibs on the early Bronco next to the Supercab.
Well deserved reps sent .

 

Going back up in December.
I'll keep you guys informed.
BTW
Here's a part of what I scored for my truck.
Full '79 front end and the power steering gear box.

 

Yeah I thought someone would lust after that.
Todd also just bought a pristine '61 Econoline pick up. It is ****.
I'm talkng to him about another truck for a freeway flyer for me.
Gracias por los reps.
I couldn't believe the rows of beautiful beds also.

 

This place is 30 minutes from my house. Close enough to take my truck.

 

Check it out. You won't want to leave.

 

What's the axle going in to?

 

My '74 with power assist steering, drum brakes and smaller diameter housing, not to mention axles that aren't as good.

 

Duh, for some reason I thought that was an HD44 setup for leafs.

 

Sometimes I get lost in anatomy also.

 

I will... Never heard of it before. Thanks for the tip.

 

Saturday Marc, Scott, Alan and myself went to go check out the "Honey Hole". All I have to say is Holly Molly!!! This guy has a lot of stuff that every ford truck enthusiast is looking for. Todd has piles of parts already removed from trucks. In his lot he has doors, panels, cabs (Some crew cabs too!) frames, beds, hoods and lots more goodies mostly from late 60's to 79 Ford Trucks but he also has a really good inventory of early Bronco parts as well.

Marc found the gold mine of Ford Truck Parts!

As I walked around I was totally dumb struck, I was just standing in the middle of Todds lot trying to remember what else I needed, it was a good thing I had my shopping list on my iPhone otherwise I would have come home with a bunch of stuff and not what I needed.

Here's HIO Silver way in the back checking out some stuff.





I walked away with a wiper delay switch, windshield washer reservoir, steering linkage from column to box and one last thing....





My saddle tank shroud is badly rusted out due to the lack of drain holes. It is the only place on my truck that I have rust. Most of our trucks have this problem. So before we left i asked Todd if he had a rust free fuel tank shroud and to my (jaw dropping) amazement he did! Nobody makes them, Junk yard shrouds are just as badly rusted as mine, you just can't find them anywhere and I was going to give up and start working on a plan B. The previous owner of this shroud had made some additional drain holes so no rust! Score!!!

Good find Marc and thanks for having us over, it was a lot of fun.
