BB> I get it locally from a place called George Moir Antique Auto Parts in 
BB> Stoney Plain, Alberta. George gets it wholesale from either Bob Drake 
BB> Reproductions in Grant's Pass, Oregon (503) 474-0043 or Dennis Carpenter 
BB> Reproductions in Charlotte, NC (704) 786-8139. Picking the stuff up

Thanks, I've taken notes on these...
BB> Have you tried your local Ford dealer? They've still got some parts for

Ha! I have to wake the idiot at the parts counter up just to see if he's
alive. Besides, the markup on "dealer" parts is ridiculous. My '79 van has a
simple plastic pluger switch for the backup lights that the column shift
levers activate, about 1 inch by 3/4 inch in size.  The NAPA jobber here had
a metal version for $10 in stock, and the dealer had the plastic version for
$28, and he had to order it. I only go to Ford as a last resort. Besides, I
wrote to FoMoCo about the dilema in finding the frame serial number, and 
heir
response was (don't forget the stamped it there) was that the information was
no longer available. Another user/reader in this echo read the corrrect info
on it in his Haynes manual! All the dealers/manufacturers are the same as
well, from Chevy to Nissan/Datsun. I beleive they do it to tick you off into
scrapping the vehicle and buying a new or newer one.
Thanks a bunch for the info, Bill. Are you enjoying the frost up there in
Canada yet?
