Title: 1962-1964 bucket seat trim parts
Post by: olman on March 19, 2020, 05:02:02 PM

As evidenced by the 2019 Galaxie Gathering in Cedar Rapids Iowa there are still a lot of Galaxies out there in this Galaxie. There are also a lot of Galaxies that aren't running or being restored like mine.
 All of the parts suppliers and companies that reproduce parts for our Galaxie 500's and 500XL's help to keep these great lookin' cars in fine trim.   But the one thing I have yet to find is someone that reproduces the bucket seat trim.
  Has anyone in the Ford Galaxie field ever done a search for possible companies that might stamp these thin aluminum parts out?  I know my 500XL sure needs some reproductions! When I purchased my Galaxie back in 1980 there were a couple of places to get this stuff, but it was NOS and hit and miss on availability. I  kick my big arse for not looking ahead back then and buying 2 kits, but my hindsight was 20-20 like it is now.
  I will continue to search and hope to the point of desperation that some company will show up.
  If anyone one of you Galaxie or Ford Fe members do have or find any info on this subject PLEASE post it for the Galaxie community to take advantage of.    Thanks for readin' this,  Bud Roberts

 Sorry for jumping on your tread.But I also attended the galaxie show in cedar rapids 2019.It was a great show for galaxie enthusiast. I've been looking for hard to find fan shroud for 390 with air conditioning or 427 from the hot summer weather states. It's a two piece part with a top and bottom. Does anyone know of any reproduction made?

There is a place in Carson City NV that supplies parts for 60-72 Ford Galaxies. They have a 2 piece shroud listed for 60-64. Maybe call and ask if it is for FE engines. 1eighthundred 72two 000nine Concours Parts.

Olman is the 64-65 Thunderbird seat surrounds the same? They look close from memory.

 Thank you for the info.I looked it up in there catalog they only list fan shroud for 64 galaxie.I have a 63 galaxie they are different. Any other sources would be appreciated. Every where I've checked only has the shroud's for 64 galaxie's.Maybe someone has an extra one collecting dust they would part with? Thanks
