Dear all:
I need to know the addresses to some of the largest salvage yards that has most old Ford trucks 1948 up to the 70's. I am planning to take a tour next summer and collect some hard to find parts. I appreciate your help.

 

There is one up in the Portland Oregon area, I just saw a youtube video on it. Don't recall the name but a google will probably get you there.
Good luck.

 

You MUST go to L&L at 2742 S. Hwy 46 in Wendell, ID 83355. L&L Classic Auto | Wendell, ID 83355 Not specifically Ford trucks, but they have a ton of them. Roadkill recently did an episode there.

 

Thanks you both, I will consider them in my trip.

 

Saw Tony's Ford parts yard U tube video, Portland, OR. Was nice, not a big though but all Ford trucks.

 

I've never been, but Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona has a good reputation and has a large inventory.

1965 and 1966 searchs in two separate links - gotta admit they may have some crossover.

Turner’s auto wrecking in Fresno, CA. Acres and acres of classics, but you might want to check their truck inventory. I have found what I was looking for there, previously.

 

Check out this place in Sacramento that advertises on Craigslist.

Thank you folks for your help, Turner's and Sacramento looks like a good places and in same state.

You might consider providing a list of what you’re looking for. I know you mentioned a fairly broad range of years but it could be that members on FTE have some of the parts you want....and they may live near the areas to which you’re traveling. I have kept quite a few 66 parts left over from my restoration just in case someone needed them....not for profit. Those parts have come in handy many times to help out other members.

 

Thanks Resonatuer
That is very thoughtful, passing by an FTE member for a cup of coffee while searching for parts.
Where I live in Saudi Arabia, there is lots of Ford trucks enthusiasts who love Ford trucks. The most popular model is the 66 F350 single wheel, flare side. The hobby and members becoming more day after day. They gather many times a year, with all Ford models from 48 up to 67.
F350 parts is becoming obsolete, not in reproduction as the F100 and F250. some of the parts are, turn signal switch, horn button, brake drums, steering wheel, hood side emblem with F350 inserts and the front suspension ( no twin I beam). Other body and mechanical parts we buy it from LMC, Dennis and Mac's. Rare parts can be found in Ebay sometimes.
once more I thank you for the addresses you shared in this thread

 

If I needed parts, I would definitely stop by this location. Everywhere else may be a crap shoot. IMO, this person stripped out all the clean Fords that were at the pick and pulls and purchased all the mechanics specials ( trailer needed ) in the 90's and 2000's locally. I remember, there were easy pickens back then in wrecking yards, not anymore.

 

C2TZ-13341-D .. T/S Switch is the same: 1961/65 F100/250 4WD // 1961/66 F350/1100 & C series Tilt Cabs // 1963/66 N/NT500/1100 // 1966 F250 4WD

C1TZ-13A805-D .. Horn Button has the same applications as the above.

C1TZ-3600-A (Black) & C1TZ-3600-B (White) .. 4 Spoke 18" diameter Steering Wheel is the same: 1961/65 F100/250 4WD // 1961/66 F350 // 1966 F250 4WD

Horn button is available NOS from multiple sources. Steering wheel, T/S switch, hood side emblems are almost non existent NOS

Front suspension parts are available NOS, but not the brake drums.

1961/66 F350's have 6 lug wheels on a 7.25" bolt circle. Both the Flareside & Styleside beds are 9' long.

 

If you have not already done so and intend shipping items home may consider checking with fellow enthusiast in your area and see if they are interested in sharing the cost; I sold large ticket items to FTE member out of Germany, he and other customers/enthusiast arranged for him to pick the items up at specific times and locations while he was acquiring items he arranged during his travels then arranged to have them shipped home. I met with the person who arrived with an auto trailer, he took my 65 hood and a couple of other items along with a number of items from other enthusiast shopping list, to include a really nice hot rod. Imagine if enough enthusiasts were interested may be able to share the cost and come up with items that are hard to come by? Anyhow, food for thought?
