Ok, I will be as upfront as I can. I am in New Zealand, as such, the vehicles we have, a 1977 F150 Ranger XLT and 1953 F100 custom cab are rare down here, so are parts. Now, we have no trouble getting parts that are still made, as in consumable parts, hard parts etc, you know, the stuff available from NPD, Dennis Carpenter, RockAuto and the others....the problem for us are the parts that are no longer reproduced/made, the sort of thing you lucky guy's would get at swapmeets, wreckers etc.
So, what I am asking for, are some people who would be willing to find parts, or if they come across them, let me know, and for me to be able to pass payment on to them for the parts, then to send the parts to me, or a buddy of mine in Tennessee.
I will always pay upfront for parts, before you get them, as this solves any hassles.
There aren't many things we need, that we are aware of yet, but, as per usual, I become aware of things that we are missing.....and that is the sort of thing we may need.
I will give two examples, we need a 1953 F100 grille, anything considered, as long as it is repairable, and not too expensive if it need work.....also, I am looking for winscreen trim, the wide stainless stuff, from a 1977 F150, I think it may have been used from 1973 to 1980, maybe....
I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but this really is the only way I can think of getting some of the hard to find/get/out of production items.
Thanks,
Shane
