Fellow Kansans help
Hello everyone,
Born in raised in our lovely state. Although I hope to join you guys in a drive soon, im a little far away in my project. Needing some parts for my previously neglected 48 f1. Anyone know any yards or swap meets that could help me out? One at the fairgrounds here in Lawrence is still a few months away but ready to get busy. Thanks for the help guys and good luck with the projects.

What are you needing? There is a guy over at Riley, just west of Manhattan that has some rarly f series parts. I sold him an old f5 farm truck a couple of years ago. Also there is a yard in Delphos that often has older stuff.

head from a flat6. battery box. One piece of hood trim, some side mirrors, one vent window frame and thats without thinking haha. Trucks a little sad right now but we'll get her back going. I could easily spend a day just poking around the yards but mostly in KC area dont have the older inventory, or at least those ive visited.

mainly answering my own request but thought I would pass it along. Although theyre definitely not giving things away by any means I did have a productive trip to Easy Jack & Sons outside of Junction City, KS. Large lot with lots of old cars and trucks. Ten plus older ford trucks and was able to find what I needed. Also do part locations so might help if anyone is in need. Thanks again for your help fellas and best luck on the projects.

I went to the one at Wymore about 10 years ago and picked up some stuff. At that time they had a lot of neat old stuff. Higher iron prices got a lot of stuff crushed at a lot of yards.

Yea but there is still a lot of trucks still sitting around. I has a buddy that lives a few miles from there and he gets parts for his trucks and for other people some times, me included.
