Invisibleman13 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 In my never ending search for quarters for my Bronco, I was on the NPD website yesterday. They show part numbers, but they are out of stock. I sent an email inquiry about restock time and received a reply today. Scott at NPD said, "The manufacturer discontinued these due to slow sales. The tooling was damaged and it was deemed not worth the expense to fix them considering the demand." He then went on to recommend trying 1979 quarters using a hammer and torch. So to anyone looking for full quarters and not having luck, this is why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MPC seems to think they are: 27840-1 PANEL ASSY.

I was sure I was missing something. But boy, those things are expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the price of the most recent ones seen? Not being facetious, but these are rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've never seen them, so they must be rare. But none of the many Bullnose trucks I've purchased has come close to the $2,695.80 they want for two body panels. And shipping is another $400! Tabco has the rear wheel arch for $89.75, so two of those would be ~$180. Granted they are smaller panels than the NOS ones, but then most trucks rust out above the wheelwell, which this includes. I'm just astounded at the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
