Ford F-100 Parts Suppliers: The Complete Directory

Why a Supplier Directory Matters

Finding the right part for an F-100 is half the battle. Finding it from the right supplier — at a fair price, with accurate fitment, and reasonable shipping — is the other half. The F-100 aftermarket is deep, but it is also scattered. One vendor might have the best reproduction cab corners while another has the only correct bed strip for your year. Knowing who sells what, and what they are actually good at, saves you from ordering the wrong part from the wrong place and burning a week on returns.

This directory covers every major supplier category: full-catalog vendors who stock thousands of parts, specialists who focus on one area like bed wood or chassis, and swap kit manufacturers who make modern drivetrain conversions possible. Use it as a reference whenever you start a new phase of your build.

Full-Catalog Vendors

These suppliers carry broad inventories spanning most or all F-100 generations. They are the first places to check when you need common restoration and replacement parts.

Their catalog covers 1932—1996 Ford trucks with an emphasis on hard-to-find trim, weatherstripping, rubber seals, emblems, and interior components.

Electrical and Wiring Specialists

Rewiring an F-100 is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. For a detailed walkthrough, see the wiring harness guide.

The two leading wiring harness manufacturers for F-100 trucks are Painless Performance (painlessperformance.com) and American Autowire (americanautowire.com). Both offer complete chassis wiring harness kits designed for specific F-100 year ranges. These kits replace the entire factory harness with modern color-coded wiring, blade-style fuse panels, and provisions for modern accessories.

Ron Francis Wiring (ronfrancis.com) is another solid option, particularly for custom builds where a universal harness with more flexibility is preferred over a vehicle-specific kit.

Steering and Drivetrain Specialists

For steering column swaps and power steering conversions, see the steering column guide.

Key suppliers in this category include:

• Borgeson (borgeson.com) — Power steering conversion kits, steering boxes, and steering shafts. The most popular single brand for F-100 steering upgrades.
• ididit (ididit.com) — Direct-fit aftermarket tilt steering columns for 1953—1979 F-100s.
• Flaming River (flamingriver.com) — Tilt columns, steering shafts, U-joints, and rag joints.
• Currie Enterprises (currieenterprises.com) — Aftermarket rear axle assemblies, including Ford 9-inch housings and complete axle packages.

Tips for Ordering F-100 Parts

Decades of ordering parts for these trucks have taught the community a few consistent lessons:

Measure before you order. Year ranges on supplier websites are guidelines, not guarantees. Ford made running production changes (sometimes mid-year) that affect fitment. Measure your existing part, compare it to the listed dimensions, and call the vendor if anything is ambiguous. This is especially important for body panels, weatherstripping, and bed components.

Keep all packaging for at least 30 days. Most suppliers have reasonable return policies, but returning a part without its original packaging can trigger a restocking fee or outright refusal. Do not throw anything away until you have test-fit and confirmed the part is correct.

Join email lists and request catalogs. Dennis Carpenter, LMC Truck, Classic Industries, and NPD all run periodic sales (often 10—20% off) timed to holidays and truck show season. Signing up for email notifications is the easiest way to save money on parts you were going to buy anyway.

Order related parts together. If you are replacing a bed floor, order the cross-sills, bed strips, mounting hardware, and bed bolts at the same time. Discovering that your new bed wood does not sit right because the cross-sills are rusted means another round of ordering, shipping, and waiting.

Check multiple vendors. The same part can vary significantly in price between suppliers. A weatherstrip kit that costs $85 at one vendor might be $55 at another. Shipping costs also vary. NPD’s multi-warehouse network often means lower shipping to your area than a single-warehouse vendor. For realistic price expectations across every major system, see the restoration cost guide.

Buy from specialists when it matters. For common mechanical parts like brake shoes or water pumps, RockAuto or Summit Racing will have the lowest price. For body-specific parts like cab corners, fenders, or reproduction emblems, the specialist vendors (Dennis Carpenter, Bob Drake, Carolina Classics) typically offer better fitment and quality.

For chassis and suspension, TCI Engineering and Heidts are the most trusted names.

What is the best engine swap kit for a Ford F-100?
