When I had my '50 Ford woodie in the eighties, there was a plentiful supply of original parts listed for sale in newsletters, Hemmings, and such, at reasonable prices. 49-50-51 Ford owners newsletter was great. I know those days are gone, but I suspect there is still a good supply of parts stashed in places and people that want them. Just a thought.

You are absolutely right Joe! Then the owner dies and they have a sale. The parts get piled, helter skelter on a wooden pallet with no thought of value. A buyer bids on one or two items he needs for a few dollars and the rest end up in a landfill. I have seen this happen.
