Title: 1966 Convertible Full Rear Frame Rails
Post by: rangalet on September 20, 2021, 11:46:12 AM
Does anyone have any suggestions on a source / supplier for complete rear frame rails including torque boxes.  The car is a 1966 convertible.  I'm considering parts from United Pacific.  Any experience?  All input welcome.  I tried searching old topics and didn't see anything helpful.  I thought I start this question under parts.

been in this hobby for a long time and never heard of 'united pacific'. recommend you contact NPD or Virginia classic Mustang for parts.

"United Pacific" is a Southern California junk yard. Agree about NPD or Virginia Classic Mustang (both are active on this forum).

thank you, this is what I wanted to know.  I will cross them off my list.  If anyone has any experience with a specific part that works well, or not.  Apricate the feedback.  I'll look at NPD and Virginia Classic's.

A quick duckduckgo yielded this:

It's still a junk yard.

United Pacific (https://upcarparts.com) is most well-known for its '32 Ford, '40 Ford, '32-34 Ford truck and '66-'77 Bronco projects and parts.

UP also offers parts for Mustangs (https://upcarparts.com/ford?model=Mustang), other Fords and some Chevy trucks.

Sorry. It's in Southern California. I don't travel to Southern California if I can help it. And brand new 32 Ford parts are hard to find.
