I need a Ford carburetor and have a starter from a Chevy or maybe a Chevy guy just picked up a Ford fender that he doesn't want but could use a part for his car. One of us could still benefit by getting the fender.
Also, make it mandatory that the poster lists his location. Just my 2 cents worth.

Time limit and location should be mandatory, this makes complete sense.

Sounds good to me!
You could list what you're looking for....what you're willing to trade for it and where you are (state-wise) so people interested could decide if ship or pick-up costs would work!
I've usually have smaller\shipable things around and always like to look at what else is out there.

I'll try it out if it happens. I have used the classifieds several times to sell things. That's the best trade there is! 
I've also just given stuff away to whoever needs it. That's a way of paying it forward from people who have given me stuff. Jag

I check this website a couple times a day and the guys over there are pretty cool. They have a Swap Meet section with a great honor code over there. They even have a "Positive Feedback" section too.
Just a point of referance that I wanted to point out because I think it's a great idea. It never hurts to just say I've got this part, for this price, plus shipping. Paypal to cover yourself and so forth. Plus if it seems to big just give a friendly FYI before you go the Egay way. Who knows you may know a guy who knows a guy that could use it ...
Again, just my $0.02

Count me in. There is always some part I need or some little part I have laying aobut that aI hate to throw away because I knw someone, somehwere needs it.
I know that it will probably be limited to Ford/Mercury parts but that is ok, those of us with Frankentrucks seem to work it out in the end.
Its already been mention about stating the area you are in and the parts wanted/for trade, etc. I think the specific parts and the location should be in the title to the posting to further aid the search process.

I don't see why we couldn't or shouldn't. Most of us already trade parts anyway.

Sounds great. I have a complete front/ rear suspension I'm not going to use plus column. Ran across a good tailgate for 48-50 F-1 last week, still available. I think many of us have a "I need" list. Have a great day,chuck
