Well Chris you win the gold star today ! The Ford Heaven in Ennis is no longer, it is now the franchised property of USA recyclers. No more Matt, I did speak with Randy who put me in touch with a local Fort Worth body shop that had six FE's stashed away behind his shop. Low and behold two gearboxes and three pumps with brackets. Making a beeline there this coming Sat morning !
You talked to the wrong Matt. I JUST talked to him. Do share your info on the body shop as well. Text me
pchelp you might want to check with Summit Racing.com. i just checked their site they have a Grant wooden wheel for $86.97 the adapter is $26.97. i looked at the ebay ad. it did not say anything about a install kit. also no info. on their feedback rating. my self i do not deal with anybody with a rating below 99%. the only thing about the wheel on Summit is that the spokes are black and not chrome. the part number is #GRT-313. the number for the install kit is #GRT-3294. you can also find parts but they will be new $$$. at denniscarpenter.com also npd.com. imo. stay away from lmc.com. good luck with your truck.

Thank you lilorbie, good advice and good lead on that steering wheel. I just need a 15 inch
I've only attended one TX car/truck swap meet, but at one time (may still be today) this was the largest in TX
Pate Swap Meet located south of Dallas. This is either a two or three day (I cannot remember which) meet.
If you plan to go and stay overnight, make the motel reservations at least a week beforehand. Otherwise, you may have to drive as much as 50 miles R/T to find a motel, as I did.
1985: I drove straight thru from Santa Monica CA to Dallas, stopping at 3 TX Ford deallo loers looking for NOS obsolete parts.
Bought a bunch of them from 2 of the dealers, the 3rd dealer was loaded with obsolete parts, but wouldn't sell anything.
If you whiz around north central TX you may find the 3rd dealer (located in a small rural town that's famous for a HUGE cattle ranch that once was located there).
This Ford dealer closed in the early 1970's, but ALL the parts are still there!
The Pate Swap Meet is now held at Texas Motor Speedway, north of Ft Worth, in April. It's 4 days of auto parts utopia! There is a large swap meet in Decatur in September. It's the old Southwest Swap Meet that used to be at Rangers Stadium. I've heard it's a good one. I plan to make it!
Text me, I'll send you his number.
I went to pate once after they moved to the speed way. An all day affair in the hot Texas sun on top of asphalt. Never again.
My buddy's and I (now my boys too) make the Decatur meet an annual event. We've been going every year (the one in March) for 10 years now.
