Hey everybody, new to the forum and mostly to three courier scene. I am currently in the process of buying my grandpa's old 78, and it needs body panels and such replaced. Does anybody have any leads on some? Also any other advice is helpful

Welcome to the group. You may be able to find some reproduction panels online, but most people end up looking for used ones from other members parting cars out or finding them in the junkyards. Theres a group on Facebook that's pretty active, Ford Courier Nation, and I think there's a US only one as well now since the Australians got Couriers much more recently than we did!

Great, fun little trucks. Not much off the shelf, but they can definitely still be hopped up and fun/reliable

In reply to edwinmatacastellon :

2.3 turbos are pretty close to bolt in on 2nd gen trucks, and will get you 200hp easily.
