Re: Flathead parts available from Ford
Many people call the "3 hole" green bible a reprint which it was,but it was reprinted by Ford. I used to find these new in many old dealership parts rooms in the '70's and '80's when I was searching out NOS obsolete parts. Some of these dealers had 5 & 6 sitting on the shelf never opened.

My father carried a Ford Authorized Remanufactured Flathead V8 throughout the 1970's as a replacement engine for trucks cars and industrial applications that were still in use in those days.

Re: Flathead parts available from Ford
When I was a Ford parts manager into the mid 90's, you could get many parts still. For my 50 F-1, I got pedal pads, jack crank handle, license plate bracket, LD 3 speed tranny parts, steering box seals and bushings, vac line fittings, spark plugs, all sorts of nuts and bolts, misc hardware items. more that I can't remember. Many of these items were still being used on later model stuff. The pedal pads and jack crank were used on the C model cab overs right up into the 70's when the trucks were phased out of production. Yes, the good old days at Ford!

As early as 1976 I could not buy the Gt light bars for my 66 Mustang. At 10 years old the car was becoming collectible.

Back in the 70s, a buddy of mine and I were buying and selling Ford parts. One of the items we sold, was the Green Book. We bought them from Ford for $8.00 and sold them for $25.00. I still have a couple. MIKE |

Yes. And then (mid '70s) Ford found out about it and got so pissed off they quit stocking Gt light bars for the 66 Mustang. Thanks a lot, Mike.
