New old Bronco parts from Ford?

[knack]

I was reading an article in Hemmings or someplace a few days ago about manufacturer support for classic vehicles. I knew some foreign brands were doing this, but the article mentioned that that Ford and others had large and growing catalogs of parts for some older popular vehicles. I would think early Broncos would make the cut. Anyone here know something about this? Maybe someone with a connection to a Ford dealership?

BEING a Ford parts guy for near 40 years....NO. In my spare time I will sometimes look up something and see if I can find any still at dealers around the country. Back in 05 I needed a windshield frame for mine, found on in LA that was Ford NOS. I have had pretty good luck over the years but pretty much a dried up market from them

To them, 20 years old is classic...

Thanks. Was hoping something has changed.

I think about the only part i can buy from ford for my 1969 Bronco is an oil filter.

I think I've seen (probably same article or ad you saw) in Hemmings "Driver" magazine where Mercedes Benz is doing that. I believe parts and even a restoration service for their old, now collectible, cars are available.

I suspect that if Ford did want to sell early Bronco parts, they'd be selling the same Ford-licensed products offered by everyone else. They aren't going to re-tool to offer parts that someone else already makes.
