    Hi

    I am a first time poster on here.

    I live in Australia and imported a 78 country squire about 5 years ago.

    Last summer i had a truck run into the back right hand quater panel causing damage to the panel and rear taillight.

    I have had alot of trouble finding a rear right hand taillight for the vehicle and would really appreiciate some help in locating one of these over in the states.

    Any help would be greatly appreiciated !

    Welcome to the Nuthouse we call home. Great choice of wagon there. That is too bad that she got hit that way. There are still quite a number of those wagons floating around, so I would bet that you will have little trouble finding the tail lamp you need. I believe Ford used the same lamp on the Country Squire and Country Sedans from 73 though 78. The other thing is, the trim is slightly different, but the Mercury Colony Park lamp will fit the same hole in the quarter panel. Change both, and nobody will be the wiser. It depends on which you manage to find first. Good luck.

    hey, hey, hey

    :Welcome: don't know of any that specialize in Fords. Pick-Your-Part in Sun Valley California has a section called Memory Lane, where they keep their older vehicles.
