Parts showed up

Just wanted to share something awesome. I was out in the driveway working on my 65 a while back and the neighbor behind me was walking by with his wife. They stopped and we chit chatted for a little bit and I found out he used to have a 64 f100 a long time ago. It was cool talking trucks for a bit. A couple weeks back he is riding his bike by and stops in to chat again. I find out he has a 60 vette and a 56 Ford 4 door (looks like a crown vic, but I cannot recall the 4 door model name). He also mentions he may have some parts for my truck that he would rather see go to use than sit. I thanked him and told him I would stop by when I had a minute and he said I could or he would drop it off. I thanked him and was planning on stopping by this weekend. I come home yesterday to find a box sitting by the garage that contains a new set of door seals, new hood to cowl seal, new back window seal, factory door rear view mirror, and new patch panels for a 64 door sill area. There was also a gauge cluster for a 79, which works for my son's truck that we will be starting on next year. This is proof you never know when parts will show up.

Crown Victoria is a 2 door hardtop with a "basket handle" roof moulding.

I know it isn't and I didn't put that it was, but thank you for the correction. Maybe you could have put the name of the 4 door model. It would have been more helpful. Just saying.....

I just thought it was pretty cool that one guy helped another out.
