I always purchase rubber products from Dennis Carpenter. When mid fifty sold rubber products sometimes they came in Carpenter packages.

Mid 50

Mid 50 did ship postal many of my shipments came that way a few did come FedEx and only a few times I recall they used UPS. Rumor has it FEXEx and UPS might merge. They will call it FED UP! AJ.

I bought some more parts from midfify this week. There were items on my wish list that I wanted to get now rather than wonder if another company might have them later. They were delivered yesterday. Really quick shipping and pricey shipping too. But, if you spend big bucks, you get free shipping.

Not quite everything but enough goodies to make me spend the money. And now I have parts to install or paint or something.

I ordered a modern temp gauge replacement for my '56, some brake lines(USA), and seatbelts. I feel guilty getting a good deal at the cost of their whole business; but I would never have bought this stuff at normal prices...I like my truck and it treats me well, but the seatbelts it has work. The aftermarket temp gauge works.

I ordered the modern temp gauge also. Glad to hear it worked for you. Hope you didn't get the last one!

I was thinking now might be the time to buy a headliner. But they don't have any. I'm thinking about building my own. Any suggestions on material for one?
Since my truck body is original it doesn't have to be fancy.

Poster board might be something to look into for interior panel applications, I bought a headliner kit & wasn't satisfied with fit of the rear window panels so I made my own.
