Hugh Writes: The bug has bitten me! What I have is a 1994 F-150 that I would like to restore. Are there any body shops in Columbus Ohio or surrounding area that you know of that does this type of work? Hugh,I cannot recommend any shops near, but I can direct you to a few sport truck clubs in your area. The clubs in your area are the best resources for local services, parts, shows, and other enthusiast interests. Club members always know the dirt on the best places to have work done .and where not to go. Members share the same interests that you do will also have a wealth of knowledge and helpful hints to pass on. Being a member of a car/truck has many other benefits too.Since your 1994 truck is still pretty new in terms of parts. Most all the parts you will need are still available from your local Ford dealer. Ford generally stocks parts for 15-20 years before obsoleting the parts out for a particular model. You can also go online to http://www.genuine-ford-parts.com/ and get what you need there. Currently, I am not aware of any reproduction parts vendors supporting these year Ford Trucks yet.
Here is a short list of clubs in your area:
