Im not sure about a specific product catalog for all parts, pertaining to stock replacement numbers, but I have found the "Mustang Restoration Guide 6 1/2 to 73" book from Barnes and Noble bookstore has virtually every part number you would need. Hope this helps

Stang68,
A factory shop manual will give you the procedures for repairs, but it won't teach you about working with rusted or broken parts. Some of that skill will come from years of mechanical experience. Sort of like just because you can read a medical dictionary, it doesn't make you a surgeon. Get some basic car repair books, a Ford factory shop manual (about $40 from most mustang houses), and stay in touch with this forum for additional pointers and advice.

That's why a web site like this is handy. Some of us old timers are more than happy to help fellow gearheads whenever we can. Some of us have been doing this for a while, I've been turning wrenches since 1972, you do the math...   ------------------
