Does anyone have a best Ford dealer they like for 05 06 Parts? I'm in Los Angeles. Just read the thread about half shaft nut tightness and it's time for hardware! Thank - Dan

Do note, that you are going to need to prove that you own a GT to buy parts (copy of the registration works). The reason is to attempt to keep non gt owning people from hoarding parts to resell for profit. With that, especially if you just need a couple nuts, maybe use your local dealer.
Thanks. My guy at Galpin Ford just retired. I'm looking for a dedicated advisor. I do own the vehicle and bought
a lot from Galpin already. May try them again.

Get to know your local dealer parts department manager on a first name basis. That has helped me.

Thanks Pete. The parts manager at Galpin Ford Don Worrell is a good guy but like a lot of dealer guys very much under pressure and not a lot available. I'll keep poking around. Fortunately I'm down to maintenance after a good size project - Dan

Meaning no disrespect, can be hard to do.
If you find a good one/set up a good relationship, try to keep it at any cost.
The guy/gal who starts out in the Mustang GT section of the catalog is not the person you want.
If you are not doing ordering too often, perhaps the retiree could do it for you?
Or, more likely, have him introduce you his replacement. Get together somewhere: bring coffee to the dealership or take them out to lunch? Just a thought. Retirees are often looking for something to do besides what's on "the list".

Don't do that. When they fail (and they soon will), buy the improved setup from Kendall, "Nota4re". Way better than the limp-dick OE struts.
I stock around 100k in new ford parts at any given time and anything I don't stock and is available i can ship with in a week.
