JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has ONE D3TZ17788B = 615-443-3086.

No Ford Dealer or other obsolete parts vendor has any...now.

When I originally typed this list several months ago, there were...at least two of each at Ford dealers and obsolete parts vendors.

When I type obsolete part numbers and who has them...how long do you think they will last...considering all the peeps that read the posts?

In this case...only one bracket remains.

76F100 guy: I have access to the EXACT same in-house Ford Dealer Parts Locator System that your buddy uses.

But...not all the FoMoCo dealers have their obsolete parts listed on this website.

There's another parts search site some dealers and the obsolete parts vendors use.

PartsVoice.com and...ANYONE can use it and it's FREE / It's not restricted like the in-house Ford dealer system is.

Yeah, I figured as much. The point I was making was that while there might have been some knocking around when you originated the post, they're gone now

Sorry to be a hog but I bought them all when this post was first listed and there were not that many. But I do have the two outer ones for sale but they are used. Will need sand blasted and painted.

Many parts.... I could NOT have done it without you and am so appreciative for that. Ya I'm sorry about the dinero part if I was wealthy I would compensate you greatly for all your trouble.

I've had to put the cabosh to things since summer is here, the wife wants a deck and so on and I'm dying for a new '10 Camaro.

Now All I wanted was a picture of them as a starting point to make my own but after 20 years in the Navy as an aircraft mechanic making aluminum fly ,whipping up a set of brackets was easy. I didn't mean to upset people, take a chill pill Bill and keep up the good work.
