Hello! I’m looking for recommendations on what parts suppliers I should be shopping from and which to stay away from if any. I just took on a project for a relative and I’m not familiar with this model and its aftermarket support. I’m hoping to find a business in or close to Texas that I can purchase interior trim and restoration parts from. Thank you.
 
A good place to start is Shoebox Central (https://shoebox-central.com/). Not only do they have the usual array of new and reproduction parts, but the have a wider selection than most others as well as a large selection of used parts. For hard to find NOS parts, South Side Obsolete (user "barnfind08" on this forum) has stuff that no one else has. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Third Gen Automotive whose owner (user "35fordtn") is an active participant on this forum.
 
Chris at Shoebox Central, Early Ford Store, San Dimas, Ca., C&G are the suppliers I use.
Depends on what you are fixin'. I was disappointed in the quality of parts in bags
labeled 'Dennis Carpenter'. How can they put their name on those parts?

I have a set of new stock front springs that you can have.

Thank you! I appreciate the offer. The front end was rebuilt previous to me acquiring this project so I wouldn’t be needing the springs. I will check out those suppliers as well.
