7gmc2, I have been dealing with Jerry Brown (the owner)for over 10 years.I have bought many parts from him and they were as he said the were.As far restoring these trucks he's been doing it for years.I've seen alot of them and they are hard to beat.I'm not sure on his prices but I am sure his shop would do an exc job on your truck.

He mostly advertises in Hemmings and the small round up books.I may be wrong but I dont really think he advertizes much online.That may be why you havnt gotten much feedback here.

Goodluck

Well - here's another later post for you.

He was/is my primary supplier for my everything 67-72. He is great to deal with - very personable fellow. It's not a big business - so customer service is out of this world.

Example: I bought a set of aftermarket side mirrors from him. One of them flew off going down the interstate and shattered. I call him up - he says - well, give me your address again and I will just send you the OEM ones.

He is truly in it for the customer I think. And just check out his trucks - they are unbelievable. We have been up there a few times, even though its a 2/2.5 hour drive from here.

We were up there one time while he was restoring a '72 4WD truck. I was amazed. He goes through extensive detail, and does high quality work. Two things that I remember the most is the smoothed powdercoated frame and the refinished air conditioning box that looked like wet glass!

Two thumbs up for Jerry Brown and the Truck Shop.
And don't know if you knew it, but he does have a website.

Not a lot there - but you can see some of his trucks - and his contact info.
