I'm just wondering if the ford dealerships would still carry terminator parts. Or if they don't would they have access to like a back log of OEM parts that were never sold? Thanks

Yes dealers would still have parts or access to new old stock parts that are around the country if A. That part is in stock somewhere at another dealer or warehouse location
B. That the part in question is still in production
And can be ordered from Ford corp
But take into account there are a significant number of parts for these cars that are now discontinued and completely out of stock due to age that aren't available direct anymore, only aftermarket or other avenues such as eBay or private seller.

Basically no parts available, try a new idler pulley, not gonna happen, tensioner is available w/ pulley, but most discontinued, it is still made and in another car or truck the part number has changed and they won't try to crossover, if you do your homework and know what fits you still need to know what car or truck it goes on or they don't help either, tried with part numbers but the dumbass was stuck on what vehicle I needed it for.
Find a new parts guy. That's ludicrous.

On late model restoration, many of the Terminator parts are Ford Motor Company Genuine Parts. Such as the chin spoiler. The aftermarket has really improved
Damn the price is insane! $569!

My opinion is if you are not a collector or your car has 1000 miles on it, it won't make a difference to the value
Unless you are an absolute stickler for strict originality, for a pulley, idler or adjuster, why not just upgrade to a Metco? They are so much better than the sheet metal stamped OE pulleys it is not even funny. The OE sheet metal stamped pulleys flex under load, work harden and then crack and they are also known to explode if they spin a high enough rpm. Certain things you are just better off with a performance aftermarket upgrade, and this is a classic example of one.
