Early Ford vendors?

[c277687]

I know about Bratton's and Snyder's for the Model A. Is there a similar large supplier for the early V8 fords? I'll be starting a '36 Tudor restoration soon.

C&G in Escondido, CA
The Early Ford Store in San Dimas, CA

All of the vendors listed in the prior posts are all great sources and I've used most of them but my go to source is Joe's Antique Auto in Mass. Good guy to deal with, knows his stuff, fair prices, and reasonable and fast shipping. JMO.

I have always had good luck with C&G Ford parts in Escondido Ca. They recently sold me a nice looking front floor mat for '36 Ford.

Roy Nacewitz can't be beat for fasteners, nuts and bolts. For a wiring harness contact Tyree Harris wiring. Bill Hirsch sells good quality trim rings and hubcaps.

I recently had a negative experience with Jay Johnson at Vintage Auto Garage, San Ramon, California- so would steer clear of this business.

My favorites: Bob Drake(hot rod mostly but also original), Dennis Carpenter(limited quantities), C&G(big catalog), Roy Nacewitz(nuts and bolts). Maybe Macs although many on this forum have complained about high shipping costs. C&G will have most of what you need. I restored a 36 woodie.

C&G, top rank ....dealt with them for years. Kyle and his team are very helpful.

I have always had the best experience form Midwest Early Ford Store in Springfield Ohio. They have reasonable prices and don't try to kill you on shipping. They usually ship the cheapest way. Good people in my opinion.

Thank you all for the great information. It's been sitting in my barn since 1971. All the kids are grown, I'm retired so it's my time for fun.
