Some of you have been talking about shopping for parts and the prices that you are asked for parts. Some days you get a bargain like FF316 and other days you get a shellacing like the prices Redstick was asked for a hood. Well,today I decided to do one of my wrecking yard tours that I do every month or so and I scored big time.My one H hood is pitted badly but restorable..but I thought if I come across one that is better for good money...and I did! The wrecker had several H hoods and I picked out an incredibly straight hood with some rust, but the best I've seen in a while...3 bullet marks on the side of the hood...$20 Canadian...brought the hood home , sanded it out , peened the bullet marks out and I have an excellent hood...its newer and doesn't have a hole for the auxillary tank. So you need to look around and not get in a hurry. Next I asked for brake pans for my H as the set screws had been stripped out of mine...$10 each and they contained brake bands that were like new.. the metal on the bands wasn't even rusted. Now I will have an extra set of brake pads/bands and I will weld new set screw adjusters on my old brake pans and have an extra set of those..all in all I came home with a lot of parts for $40. I will now have 3 hoods for two H's and 4 grills for two H's and I haven't been shopping too hard at all. So guys be patient , look around and when you do get a good buy enjoy it...oh yeah I almost forgot...I've been burned once or twice too! Good luck shopping from Mike in Exeter Ontario
