Looking for 1951 shoebox vendors
Hello! I’m looking for recommendations on what parts suppliers I should be shopping from and which to stay away from if any. I just took on a project for a relative and I’m not familiar with this model and its aftermarket support. I’m hoping to find a business in or close to Texas that I can purchase interior trim and restoration parts from. Thank you.

Shoe Box Central. All you need to know. IMO
In Oklahoma City. Close enough? Shoebox Central (shoebox-central.com)

Re: Looking for 1951 shoebox vendors
A good place to start is Shoebox Central (https://shoebox-central.com/). Not only do they have the usual array of new and reproduction parts, but the have a wider selection than most others as well as a large selection of used parts. For hard to find NOS parts, South Side Obsolete (user "barnfind08" on this forum) has stuff that no one else has. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Third Gen Automotive whose owner (user "35fordtn") is an active participant on this forum.

Chris at Shoebox Central, Early Ford Store, San Dimas, Ca., C&G are the suppliers I use.
Depends on what you are fixin'. I was disappointed in the quality of parts in bags labeled 'Dennis Carpenter'. How can they put their name on those parts? I have a set of new stock front springs that you can have.
