welcome to FTE!

check out the Ford-Truck Sponsors on the left side of the page highlighted in the blue. usually Bronco Graveyard, Mar-K, National Parts Depot, and Macs have real good parts.

post some pics of this truck.

some of their interior stuff is pretty good. I've bought 2 light assemblies from them and they haven't failed on me yet.
