OT: Rebuilding 1964 GMC Pickup

[512taylor]

I'm having trouble finding parts for my project. Plenty of Chevy parts, but some GMC parts are scarcer.
Who do you use in securing parts for your classic truck parts?

Thanks.

LMC Truck is the first that comes to mind.

2 others not mentioned, try Rock Auto or JC Whitney if you don't find them at the others mentioned

I bet there’s a bunch of fellas on here who would love to see photos of progress. I am one. Love old trucks.

It's not really a photo shoot unless there is a bikini clad model in the picture of the truck. IMPP may be able to help!

Parts are parts

sort of.

I had an uncle(long gone) that worked at GM in Detroit, not long before your truck was built.


As I recall, he said all of those trucks came down the same assembly line.


And when it came time to add the logos, chrome, etc., Chevy went one way, and GMC went another.

So...

I'm a Ford guy, but some of the same places I shop has Chevy/GM parts. One that hasn't been mentioned is National Parts Depot. They sell good quality parts. LMC has a lot of parts, but they are on the low end of the quality totem pole.

Get on eBay and look around, if you haven't already. The selection of good used parts has come a long way in the last 10 years.

Then there's the junk yards. I hate going that route, and it's always my last resort. There probably won't be many trucks that old around, but there are a ton of old junk yards in the Jackson area. I have a google earth file with locations pinned you are welcome to if you want to PM me. Many looked abandoned, but that's where the good stuff is if you can track down the owner.

Well .... yeah.

www.1967-72chevytrucks.com is a forum devoted to all vintage GM trucks. I'm known as krue on that board if you find your way over there. Lots of vendors and an active classifieds.

I use LMC truck first if nothing there I usually go to EBay... RockAuto is good for cheap ordinary stuff like finding deals on brakes n components... I’ve got mind on game and not thinking well right now, haha... but hard to find stuff, watch craigslist, Facebook groups, Network with friends, and deep google searches. And if not said share some pics if you got ‘em. Fun, fun, fun!

You can have craigslist and Facebook group searches set to email you when new postings come up in your search topics.

LMC does not have the GMC pan.

Neither does Brothers.

Check out groups on Facebook. My son and I are rebuilding a car and we found several groups on Facebook of people doing similar rebuilds. We buy and trade parts with people across the country.

Yes

My dad had one when I was younger. Was his farm truck. Learned to drive a standard in that truck and his 76 VW Beetle. That truck had the sweetest clutch I have ever pressed.
