Was it the bumper, or...
..the valance --or both-- that you're in need of? (On the other thread you specified the valance...)

Perhaps...
...if your CA-based friend contacts Rob (Pineapple), things wouls go more smoothly? (I'm guessing he may have 'disabled' any direct, international sales options from his site ???)
Are your bumper ends still usable? The center section is identical to same years Ford Courier -- ought to be much more abundant.
A completely clean hood trim, few are willing to part with. Most have a few dings... Also, the 'chrome' on it generally looks much different from the 'chrome' (vacuum metalised) plastic headlight surrounds, as well as from the front bumper. You might feel the need to have even a 'mint' one re-plated...
Ken (nwaco) might (?) still have certain better condition parts than the ones I *potentially* have... (?)

Please provide:
...your US (CA. state) based buddy who will be receiving parts to pack into your shipping container's full Name, Business Name (if applicable), Address, and Phone Number. Email would be great, too!
Have you not tried to have him contact Pineapple Racing, or have you not contacted Rob with the above info. yourself? If all you've tried is email, perhaps it's time for a well-timed, (if spendy) phone call or two?
How would payment be made? International payments (and shipping) can suck... unless dealt with appropriately well in advance... How about PayPal?
Have you come across any 'mint' grade options, or are you willing to settle for 'restorable'?

If it were me...
...I'd do all of the above, and then some. Whatever it takes, right? Waiting for others to make accommodations when it remains unclear who and how parts and payment will be received, well... it's resulted in a delay, it would seem...?

Harsh reality:
(I'm about to email you this latest info. as well--.)
Shipping the hood to Bakersfield, CA. --cheapest freight quote-- (Hope you're sitting down!): over $320.00 .
Turns out, it's considered freight with all carriers due to the 'oversize' dimensions. (Boxed size 59" x 56" x 7").
Quite the learning experience...
...do let me know if we've been wasting our time!
