I'll translate..
I'm in the process of restoring a 79 Ford 9000 HD Wrecker and I'm in need of interior parts.
I need the dash following dash parts: heater controls and both dash pieces on each side of the speedometer and tach. I also need the headliner part, up over the windshield and the driver's side between the driver's door and windshield post. I have visited local 'big truck' salvage yards in my area, and there is nothing to be found locally. As scrap prices are up here locally and they are crushing everything! I hope all this crushing is NOT like way back when in the late 30s, when Japan bought all our old iron and years later threw it all back at us! Is China going to do it too? I hope not!!
Wow. that was work.

Jim, your post may have been clear to you but we have no idea what your problem is and you need to start your explanation from square one - you are the speaker and we are the audience. Please just be more clear and detailed with what you need, and try to stay on topic - no need to change the discussion at the end of your post. You won't get much help if you are not concise, and you REALLY won't get help if you criticize and question us.
We all try to be nice to new people, but sometimes it's a challenge to do so.

I may help you understand a little better.

Jim are you typing on a PDA, or phone at all?
Most people are not trying to be overly rude as it is in their eyes just as rude to post a thread that we can barely understand.
For interior parts, try junk yard searches online such as junkyard dogs, try local junk yards (which you might have with no avail) try ebay. thats all the help I can give.
but it is a sign of respect to the forum members who have been here for a long time, to actually type to how we can all read especially if you expect us to dish out some help. we need to know what we have to give advice on.

I just found it hard to read. Your reply looks weird too. Maybe it looks ok in what you are typing it on? When you are posting here it comes out hard to read. No one is being mean to you. It is just a lot easier to respond when you don't have to read something over and over to figure out the question.
