    Really hard to find. If anyone could help point me in the right direction to find that would be great, thanks. F5F8C46B-142C-42AE-8AE2-553D4F38CEB5.jpeg

    Hey, didn't I sell you some wagon parts a handful of years ago? A tailgate hinge assembly and other parts? Met up at the McD's on Northgate Avenue in North Seattle?

    Hi, that must have been the original owner who lived in Seattle. I bought the car from him this year (Feb) then transported to New Zealand. Fair to say it needed some work... rebuilt the complete engine, radiator, brakes, fuel tank, steering pump, sway bars, idler arms, chassis mounts, sand blasted complete underside of wagon back to bare steel and rust protected and sealed, took off all the US emissions regulatory filters and converters as not needed down here. Runs beautifully and I love driving him most days. Just need to find that rear tailgate seal.... Cheers.

    Ah, OK, well I would recommend googling "obsolete Ford parts dealers in U.S." and you should get a handful of hits. One that should be at the top of the list is Green Sales Company, in the State of Ohio. Even if they don't have a 'new old stock' seal, they can get you the proper part number.
