Help finding parts
Question:
Hey Group, I’m getting ready to restore a 1954 GMC 5-window 1/2 ton. I need to find a bed, it’s too far gone to restore to factory specs. Anybody know of either a site where I can find such parts, or a place somewhere in the state of Ohio that sells old parts? Thanks, Jason Nelson
Response:
Start with the Junkyards in your area, and buy a hemmings or some other swap-meet type of catalog/magazine and go from there. Sam
