Hi guys, can any one refer me to a good parts supplier for early 50's ford trucks. I am in Australia and i will need to ship from CA but I guess most of these people can ship UPS anyway or ship free to CA and I can put on a boat over the big pond for cheaper international shipping. I have a few 51, 52, 53, 54 and 56 trucks and most of them need basic to moderate restoration, so i will need body parts, chrome, lights, interior dash bits, wiring and other cosmetics. Any one with any shop manuals for these trucks please drop me a line if you are willing to sell. Thanks in advance.
Try Hot Rods Trucks, they're out if Ohio. Great people, a true mom and pop run shop. I've bought a ton of stuff from them for the F-1 that I built. Phone 1-800-236-0046. Ask for Rodney
macs, lmc truck, botp (blue oval truck parts), joblot auto. many sources to compare prices and products.
I use LMC, Macs, Joblot, Dennis Carpenter, Bob Drake. An excellent vendor for bed parts is Mack Hils.
i really enjoy dealing with Old Car Center in langley bc. Not sure if shipping from Canada would be easier than States or not. mike
Mid Fifties in AZ http://midfifty.com/ Classic Haulers in IN http://classic-haulers.com/ Both are sister companies, Mid Fifties handle, as the name implies, mid '50 Ford truck parts. Classic Haulers handle '48-52 Ford truck parts. I have never bought from Mid Fifties but have only good about them. I did buy from Classic Haulers and had a good experience, just like everyone else I have communicated with.
