1973 Ford Kurbmaster

Greetings all,
Not really sure if I'm in the right place for this, but I hope somone here can help me.

I have recently purchased a 73 ford kurbmaster. This is my go around owning a ford, and a classic one at that. The issue I have come to is finding OEM parts or even after market parts. Is there a site specifically for this type of vehicle I can use? Searching through the main auto parts sites there is no option for this vehicle, only the Econoline. Any and all help in this matter would be greatly appreciarted. Thanks in advance.

That vehicle is nothing more than a Ford E-Series chassis that has had a body bolted onto it. Body parts might be found here: https://www.millsupply.com/

Factory parts that Ford installed during the chassis manufacturing will be available through normal parts channels. You can't find parts for a "1973 Kurbmaster"

The 68-74 E series were unibody, wouldn't this be on a frame like a truck?

I would think you're correct which does make me wonder if this is not an E-Series but another chassis altogether? I was assuming the OP had looked underneath the body.

That is the only thing I dislike about my 73 E100, mounting my seat base and lift, hit the frame sections making bolting it down troublesome.
That would be awesome with a 351 in it, if it isn't prevented like the Econoline due to doghouse space.
