best bet would be a wreckers i'd say, somewhere that lets u pull the stuff from the cars themselves might be a good place to look too, cheaper as well lol. Someone here might have some laying around

Ford spare parts sell them. Get a whole set from wrecker for not much.

When you say stuffed, what is stuffed about them? There is not a lot that can really go wrong with them.

Probably had bits and pieces break, like mine did :?.

Sorry to hijack...is it safe enough to buy just second hand ones from say Pick-A-Part? or just get all new ones? I am in need of new rockers for my other motor.

phong =P~

well there is buyer beware, generally if u inspect them and look in good condition i'd say theres a good chance they're alright. if your planning on lots of engine mods or driving hard i'd go for new ones personally. if just cruising around second hand ones would be alright i'd say, thats my 2 cents
