road trip/ hunting for parts.

My father and I will be going to Louisville KY at the end of April. We will be leaving from New Brunswick CANADA. We are looking for front fenders for a 1951 F-5, If anyone has any info on where we could find any that would be great.

Up near lanesville Indiana theres Twin Cedars salvage.Thats about an hour from Louisville, I hope he's still around. He in his seventies. If I was at home I could get his phone number and check. Gary, he had about four or five 48-52COE.

Stuck in Norfolk, VA. May have to miss the swap meet next week. Am in the eighteenth week of a nine week install.

Regards, Dale

Those should be the same as F2-F4 fenders. They pop up on e-bay every now and then. There are two guys parting out bonus built trucks on e-bay at the moment, although they don't have the fenders advertised, you might want to look at the parts and write to the guys with them and ask them.

Hey if you find a factory - rolled and channeled factory BACK bumper for an F1, get the info and let me know! I need one!

Julie, I'm surprised that you didn't mention me.

I have a two sets of of 51/52 F2-F4 front clips, but I'm in California. I'll make you a really good deal! I'm tired of looking at them.

The hood and trim is gone on this clip.


I also have another set, but with more rust and no front grille.

PM or email me if you're interested.

Shoot Ilya, I am amazed that YOU can keep track of all the stuff you have....How could I possibly?

Actually, I didn't know you had those!

Ps Shoot if they are in Canada, I wouldn't think it would be hard to get them to California - and now they have an even better excuse than our weather (which has been pretty sucky actually so far this year).

Thanks for all the info, And yes Cali would be a good road trip but I think that is a little far for this trip. I saw the post with the truck to give a way in Washington state, looks real good but still to far for this trip.
