Fellow Canadians! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Foosified · 10-16-2006, 01:20 PM

Hope most of the Cannuckle heads see this post and introduce themselves. Names Barret, born n raised in the city of champions (- the Esks this year). I'll be picking up my first classic Chevy... 71 1/2 ton. Body is pretty rough, particularly the box sides. Wood box is rotted out, but the PO has a plywood box liner, so that will do for now. I would love to restore, but the 68 Bronco comes first. Mechanically the truck is solid, so if any of you have decent body panels I could use them. I know Scott's Super Trucks has everything I need, but I've got a tight budget.

Anyway, if your local and know where the good places are for parts on these rigs let me know.'

Cheers!

Welcome fellow edmontoian, I know the wear abouts of sereral GMC and CHEVY 70 - 72 trucks for parts and in good shape, if you need parts or a good starter let me know. I am sure I could coherse the farmer into a reasonable price I have been obtaining parts off of him for several years.

I found a number in the bargain finder for a fellow in vegreville, but if you know of a jack pot and are willing to share let me know.

Welcome from just Ardrossan -- About 20 minutes east of you on highway 16!

Check Pick your Part on the West End, they occasionally have some 67-72s in there. Infact, last time I was there probally 2 - 3 months ago, they had a GMC sitting there with a pretty nice body by our area's standard
