Starter
 

I need a starter for my 50. Vanpelt doesn't carry them any more. Open for all suggestions. Thanks

Re: Starter
 

Do you have a auto electrical repair shop in your area.?

Re: Starter
 

Have your original Ford starter overhauled by an auto electrical shop. Some new starters are made in China and quality is not so good. Or contact Steve Blanchard Here on The Barn, he does quality rebuilds on original starters and generators... Regards, Kevin.

Re: Starter
 

Steve is a great source for rebuilt generators .. no starter rebuilds per a recent conversation with him.

Re: Starter
 

I had my 49 starter rebuilt locally, $160. See if you can find a rebuilder locally.
Shoebox Central?

Re: Starter
 

Wasn't NAPA a good source for rebuilt starters just a few years ago? I got one from them a couple of years ago (I think it was less than $100). The one I got was bad out of the box, but they were easy to work with on an exchange. I have done a lot of business with them over the years and consider my experience a fluke.

Re: Starter
 

Thanks for all the replies. Finding a repair shop is almost impossible these days. Shoebox central doesn't have anything. I did get a recommendation from them. It's called early V8 sales, 864-845-7878. Sending me a new one for about $175 plus shipping.

Early Ford v8 Sales was my go to local place before they fled New York and went to South Carolina. https://www.earlyford.com/
