im looking at buying a 74 repu that has been sitting for a while (years) so i was wondering how hard is it to find parts for the truck?

Finding parts is not easy. There are a few around you will find on occasion in the wrecking yards and several people with parts trucks they are willing to help with some times.



Luckily there are a number of parts interchangable with other mazdas and ford couriers. Including things like the bench seat, almost all lights, hood, and a few other electronic pieces and interior parts.



If you want something easy to restore dont get a REPU, but if you have lots of time you will eventually find what you need.

yeah it depends on what you're after. if its a light, or a window moulding, then its not bad, but a fender or grille, and you're going to be looking for a while

i bought the repu on sunday and i would like to start restoring it soon so i had some questions about parts.



1. is mazda B1600 parts interchangable

2. what ford is it that you can interchange parts?

3. do any know if i could go to a parts store and get things like brakes for it?



P.S. incase any one has some parts they would like to sell im in need of brake lights, a head light, and dash pad.

1) some parts from the b1600 are including side and front bumper marker lights. Many suspension parts as well.



2) Courier



3) yes, lots of parts like brake pads and caliper rebuild kits are easily found at the parts stores.
