Hi around the east edge of Tex--afornia, Ft worth is where the southwest begins.
Pate swap meet is the biggest swapmeet in the southwest,,90 acres but for the last few yrs 30's gm truck stuff has dwindled to virtually nothing, last yr there was 1 37 GMC hood and ine front and one unusable rear fender,, this yr, 1 driver side door for a 36-8.
Everywhere else you looked, the place is litterd as usual with 30's ford stuff--whatever you want, new, used, whatever.
If you like the fenderless rod pickups, 34-6 chevy are the ideal ones, (and you dont have to spend 6 yrs trying to find usable fenders/runningboards)
37-8 --gotta have fenders to look right.
The 34-6 stock frame already has the centerline of the front wheels set perfect for a 34-ford inspired fenderless pickup ~ with the front edge of the tires even with the grill shell--and the shape of the hood sides is also perfect (very 33-4 ford like).
if you cant find a 34-6 frame the best starting point for a fenderless rod pickup ide say is a 35-47 ford car frame, strong, lightweight, and the same dropdown style like the 33-4 ford coupe frame.
The most beautiful 30's pickup made was the 37 GMC -hand down. but i like all gms from 34-8 with the scimtar -> sword beltline styled lines.
The gmc's a good bit heavier than a chevy though stock, the grill /shell and bumpers, overload springs etc.
