63 f250 4x4
hi. i just bought a 63 f250 4x4 with a 292 and a 4sp. i'll be starting on the mechanical side of things first inorder to get it dependable enough for occasional street use. was wondering how hard it will be to get engine/tarnsmission/driveline parts and brakes etc for the old truck. what is the hardest to find new parts for?. will the engine and tranny be difficult.
thanks

I don't have a 4X4 (yet) so I can't speak to parts for that part of your truck, but the other things are pretty readily available. You'd be surprised at how many of the old truck parts are carried by (or can be gotten within a couple of days) by your local NAPA store.
Tons of places online and site members are also a source for used parts. Welcome from Louisiana.

thanks gritsngumbo for the welcome and the reply. glad to hear i'm pbly ok on parts. i have started researching a bit on the forum and read in a post that the 4sp manual is a bit obsolete. i did call the local parts store and my local shop. they both told me same thing you did, not really a pblm.
good luck finding a 4x4. shouldn't be to hard as they're out there. mines rusty as heck but hey thats why god created 110v wire welders.
thanks

If you need parts, just ask.
What I do when someone is looking for something, is...
I look up the part numbers in the appropriate FORD parts catalog, search for the numbers on the net, then post the info.
It doesn't cost you anything, either.
I can also decode your VIN, and all the codes on the Warranty Plate.
If...for example, you need all the rubber motor/trans mounts, all are available...at obsolete parts vendors.
Some Ford Dealers have obsolete parts. I also have access to this info, as I can search EVERY FoMoCo Dealers parts inventory.

thanks numberdummy. i will be taking you up on your offer i'm sure. the truck should arrive sometime next week (friend is picking it up for me). i'll post a couple pics and hit you up to run the vin. the parts cabability you have is nice to know also, sounds like it will be relatively easy to come up with most stuff.
i just noticed- gritsngumbo does have quite a collection. a 61 would be a nice addition.
thanks again.

Bill, I wasn't aware you still had some Packards. A friend of a friend has a nice '29 Touring here on Vancouver Island. He also has an '03 Holley, and a Stanley among others. Those 20s and 30s Packards were incredible. Anyhoo, thought you might be interested in this site, there was a Bentley club through here a couple weeks ago, mostly W.O.s from all over the world on a tour to through BC and Alaska. All museum quality cars, quite a site to see, I was fortunate enough to meet some of them and see the cars up close when they stopped to see my friend's collection. Even a supercharged Bentley that had run Lemans. Wealthy people making good use of their money, IMHO. Those cars were way ahead of their time.

Blower Bentley?! I'd kill to own one!
I coulda bought one back in the 1960's that needed everything for 5 grand, but like a fool, I passed on it.
Hells bells, I coulda bought Mae West's 1931 J Duesenburg Le Grande Town Car for 500 bucks!
It sat on a Santa Monica used car lot for two years.
I found Charlie Chaplin's 1934 Packard V12 Rollston All Weather Landaulet in a chicken coop in West LA, coulda bought it for chicken feed.
Dumb me passed on both of those cars.
I once owned an all original '29 Packard 633 Club Sedan. I paid $300.00 for it, detailed it, then turned around and sold it for $800.00.
(sigh) Live and learn.

There's a Ford Tractor Dealer in Fillmore CA that has been there since grandma was a gal.
On the front of the building is an original Ford Tractor neon sign that was first used when the 9N's came out, circa 1939.
I've tried to buy that sign for 40 years, so far....no dice.
I've always wondered what obsolete parts are still lurking in the attic.
I dunno anything about tractors, have no parts catalogs, but I'll betcha there are "goodies" in that building.

I've seen the large Ford V8 porcelian & neon dealership signs from the 1930's sell for TWENTY GRAND plus.
One small neon sign that hung in showroom windows that sez 6 or V8 (1941) on it, went for FIVE GRAND recently.
