Is it easier to get parts on eBay or someone like Dennis carpenter? Any bad guys out there or NOT to deal with? Here's a few pictures.

i deal with carpenter a lot for model a parts , good people, most of the bad apples seem IMMO to be on feabay ,

 

Working on my 67 I have found it best to get current catalogs or have access to a full screen computer to view and shop all the companies and determine best price and shipping There are a lot and prices vary on every part just like the grocery store.
I usually use Summit racing, jeggs or speedway motors for mechanical parts or NAPA and Rock Auto
Haven’t had much luck finding used body parts or panel or trim, so I choose the best price from the many suppliers. Have found a one stop supplier prices and shipping vary too much.
If you want a list let me know and I can put one together
Good luck looks like you got a pretty solid starting point

 

Thanks to all and a list would help sooo much. 360 two bbl, where can I find the spacer plate under the two bbl carb and is the stud layout pretty much the same for 360, 390? I think its for the PCV valve.

 

The plate would be for the PCV, NAPA use to be able to get them. You can eliminate it , and put in shorter studs. The bolt pattern is the same for the 2 brl.
There is a guy in Miami, Ford Era .com his name is Solomon Lunger that deals with a lot of High Boys and has a pretty god stock. Might be a good source if you can get him to sell anything. Definitely information on high boy.

Hope this helps, they will all send a free catalog, which to me is easier to pull them all out and search for a part and find best price
Keep us posted on your progress. Have fun
I’m like a kid at Christmas, can’t wait to get mine back from paint and start reassembling all the new parts

Hi Wayne. Thanks so much, I was wondering if it was a 390 or 360. I will have the VIN Verifier over to look at the numbers so I can register it. Is the drivers door the only place where the VIN number is?

I am not sure about other locations, some one will have to chime in here.
