1972 LTD parts source

My brother and I are working on his LTD. It is a convertable with the 429. Are there any catalogs, internet sources for parts or message boards for info? I have been trying to find some with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Luke

Luke,

What type of parts are you looking for? For the 429, parts are available at your local auto part store. For body parts, try Dennis Carpenter, Classic auto parts (they're in oklahoma city), for some parts if you know the part number try Green Sales. For more help visit http://www.world-of-fords.org/page1.html and join in the forum page. I do believe there are several members there that have a '72 LTD's.

You might find car-part.com to be of value.

Guys thanks for your help. Any info is welcome. We will be looking for engine parts, door panels, dash, as well as some body parts. Trying to find some headers for the 429 as well. Can't find any for that year in the catalogs.

Thanks,
Luke

Headers might be hard to find to fit the LTD. I know nobody makes them to fit a 429 in the '68/69 Thunderbirds. But then again that engine is tight under the hood.

Look at the Fairlane sites.
They are the same car.

headers are an aftermarket product and can be bought at speed shops or Muffler/exhaust specialty shops.

You don't need an online LTD supplier for this part.

385 engine series parts are available at any uto parts shop or speed shop.
