Parts suppliers
Just thought I would share an occurrence today:
I needed a pair of head gaskets for an 8ba. I wanted Best graphite. So I called my first vendor as always, Joblots. They did not have them and might be 2 weeks wait. So then I called another popular vendor and he did not have them but thought he could get a set from Joblots. I explained they did not have them. So I called another good vendor and he did not have them. Said he gets his from Mac's. Then I called Lou G at Early Ford and he had them.
The point I am making is that I "think" that many of the smaller vendors get their parts "wholesale" from Mac's and resell them.
Maybe most early Ford parts originate at Mac's??
Just a thought, maybe I am wrong.
