    hey guys i am new to the forum but i have a 1977 ford maverick i got it basically stripped and have been putting it back together slowly. it runs and drives but i cant seem to get the turn signals working at all the emergency flashers work but not the turn signals, from reading i believe there are two flashers in the harness but i am not sure where the second flasher relay is. also could the problem be inside the steering column? not sure any help would be greatly appreciated thanks :bouncy:

    What parts are you looking for and where in NY are you located? Maybe I can point you in the right direction. :)

    i live in Montgomery its like upstate New York but off the top of my head i need the whole hood latch assembly like the latch itself, the piece that bolts to the radiator support, and the piece that bolts to that that supports the grill, i converted it to a small bumper car so i need the front valence, the whole trunk latch/lock Assembly, gas tank filler tube, the guy i bought it from cut the tail light harness so i would like to get the correct harness if possible, for the interior the kick panels, headlight switch with the chrome rod, windshield wiper switch, i need the face plate to the heater controls. i am sure i could be forgetting some things but those are the main stock parts that i need. everything else is mostly performance parts that arent impossible to find. i didnt realise maverick parts are impossible to find :( :yahoo::character0182:

    I know I have some of this stuff around the garage that I am not going to be using anymore since my car is so modified - I have to get back out there in a couple of weeks when hopefully the weather breaks to take account of what I no longer will need and liquidate these parts :)

    Do you know anyone that travels down into PA just south of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton?
