Just got back from the Pick your part wilimington,ca There is a complete early Poly engine in a late 40's early 50's Ford 1/2 F1 pickup, the truck looks like it had it;s day as show truck, glitter paint and scallops. near complete all fenders and hood and doors are there, the engine is minus a car, four barrel intake. no driveshaft but has a torqueflight auto in there> I could tell by the drum brake they use for a parking brake. I didn't check to see if the steel wheels were 16", o well! just putting it out there for anyone looking for an engine or ford truck parts in LA.
Thanks for the heads up! What junk yards do you reccomend? Since memory lane is gone... dont know where to go! I live in Simi Valley
I only saw like 3 pre 70's cars there- the pick a part in ontario usually has more vintage stuff. after that just hitting the local craigslist for parts cars is the way to go.
