I have quite a few old Ford parts. My problem is not knowing what they fit. I have the part #'s on the original parts box but have no way to look up the number. Is there a web site or book that I can use to find out what these parts fit?

First I assume your parts are in the 1928 through 1948 time period. Please post if this is not correct. There is a book commonly called the "Green Bible" that was the parts book for 1928-48 Ford parts. This was the book kept on the counter in the parts department of Ford dealers and was their "bible". The formal name is "Chassis Parts and Accessories Catalogue" and the one you need was printed in November 1950. They are available as a reproduction for about $70 (try Faxon's http://www.faxonautoliterature.com). I assume your use is temporary so if you post your general location maybe someone would loan you one. Most suppliers do not use the original Ford part numbers due to Ford claiming they were proprietary and trying to charge the suppliers to use the numbers. How many parts are we talking about, ten or hundreds?

Thanks for responding to my question Charlie. My father bought these parts from a Ford dealership back in the 60"s, so I'm assuming that some of them fit 1928 thru 1948. The parts were stock that the dealership could not return to Ford. My sisters & I have inherited the building (50' x 100') and it's contents so we are trying to sell what we can. I brought back what I could to Arizona and we've just begun to research our possibilities. I would say there's at least 50 to 100 parts.

Being that the dealership closed in the early 60's, you could have parts in that lot that were current stock at that time. I've was a Ford partsman up until recently and there are plenty of parts Ford doesn't want back. When you do a parts return (PIPP ) Ford tells you what to send back and what to throw out and you get paid for that item. Cost them less to dump it at the dealer end and write off than to send back to the redistribution center and restock.
Anyway, If you want to send me a list, I'll see what they fit and let you know. I have almost all the P&A catalogs up into thye 70's. Send me a PM with the part numbers.

Dano: You know that us Forum regulars get "first dibs"  . Seriously, if you run into anything that you have a problem identifying; just post a photo, and I'll bet one of the members of this knowledgeable "tribe" can tell you what it is.
Once you've identified parts, you are welcome to post them in our classified section. Probably not as big an audience as E-bay, but at least you know the winning purchaser is probably not going to build a "Street-Rod"; and there is no cost involved.
What you may have is "fresh meat" for some of us.

Yep, Dano, I'm salivating at the thought there might be a '34 steering box in your treasure chest. I'm probably a dreamer but if there is, please PM me.

Since there are only 50 pieces why not send us the part numbers. I can look up many if not all and let you know what you have.
