NOS parts found!!!

Ok, I show up at my buddies machine shop for the normal Saturday lunch get together(for the last 20 yrs). I walk in and they promptly drag me to the back room and what do my eyes see?

(2) BRAND NEW NOS doors for 68-72 (one RH, one LH)
(1) BRAND NEW NOS LH inner fender




In the original FORD cartons, fresh outta the barn. They were purchased back in '74 apparently and never used. My friend got them and wanted to know if I had a use for them. Well, YA!!!!

Actually not, as I don't have anything nice enough to use NEW doors on. We discussed purchasing them, but I basically passed(I know I should have but I'm not going to buy/resell them as I don't do that to friends).

They may be showing up on Ebay in the near future, or even FTE classifieds
It's his call, so keep your eyes peeled.

He's got that covered!

I just got a cab mount from Dennis Carpenter and was again reminded of the warm fuzzy feeling you get with a newly manufactured part for such an old truck. It must be really sweet to see a brand new FORD door assembly sitting in front of you.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in and saw them. Now, if he had a new cab to go with it LOL!!

Yes, I don't believe in screwing over my friends by reselling parts they gave me at a bargin price. We never got to a firm price, as I knew I don't have a reason to have such nice parts. If someone was going to do a restoration they're perfect.
