help! i need ford parts

Published Jul. 28, 2008

 I don't know if anyone can help me find what I'm looking for but after an hour searching the net I thought I'd try. I am looking for the interior door panels for a 2003 Ford F-150. This is my son's truck and as most teenagers do with their first car he has pretty much made a mess. I am getting ready to trade it in and thought that it might bring a little better on trade I at least replaced the door panels. All these website's say they have them but when you get there they don't. I didn't know if anyone had a source other than a dealership that they might suggest.

Thanks for all of the info! I should make him keep the truck but when we bought it he wanted a 2 seater now as he has gotten older he wants more room. I also want him to get something in his name to get credit established (he's 19). I am going to take it somewhere and get it completely detailed so it may come out looking ok but that's not my luck. There are no holes or anything just plenty of dirt. I have always had good luck with Fords and personally don't like Toyota but thanks for the suggestion.

As new as the vehicle is, the part is probably still OEM only. You may be able to get a body shop to order one for you, but it would probably come from Ford, and in that light, you'd be just as well off to go to a dealer.

Beryl Road body shop in Raleigh has been able to get anything I needed for five different Fords I own or have owned.

Try a Toyota, you wont have to trade it in after 5 years.

you should fix it up and keep it. It will be a collectors item in a couple of years, after Ford goes Bankrupt. Found On Road Dead.

Look in the junk yard. That's where you'll find most Ford parts.

Hmmm, you might also try Debnam's Auto Body in Knightdale, if he doesn't have what you need he can probably tell you just where to find it, car men, those boys.

I'm sorry, you're just not trying hard enough. If you register on one of those used parts sites, you should be getting emails out the gazoo for yards that have the parts. They are all linked by internet. I have done this many a time, and had my pick of the yards that could sell me what I needed, this for a 20 year old vehicle. Better yet, leave it be, you will not get more in trade, or enough to make a difference on that hog in trade, not with gas prices and the economy. Just sell it outright.

Junk yard is your best bet.You may have to call several before you find what you want though.l

Try Martin's Auto Salvage on Poole Rd in Raleigh (or maybe Knightdale, it might be that far out). They always have a big variety of stuff. Also, they always helped my old fire dept out with letting us come there after hours and practice tearing up cars. What a primal delight that always was!
