Re: '72 GMC long/fleet in Ottawa area

Score on used parts in the last week. Two separate ads online classifieds - first one was front bed panel and wheel tubs for wood bed in very good shape (green ones) - second one was left side bed panel, wheel tub, half of right side panel, hood, various small stuff all like new. Both here in Ontario pretty exceptional to find 50 year old body metal in that condition for this part of the world with winters and salt, etc.

Stopped by Bill's in Oshawa on return of 2 day trip (Ottawa to Sarnia) to pick the stuff up and got all new cross sills for the wood bed. Was originally thinking that the entire box would have to be all new repro metal because decent used stuff just doesn't exist in this part of the world but got lucky! Apparently it was a southern built truck that got wrapped around a hydro pole at rear right side of box so that's why the metal is so nice. All that's left to get now is the right bed side and GMC tailgate. May get lucky between now and Spring for the right side never know and the tailgate will almost definitely have to be repro, they just don't seem to exist anywhere in decent shape.
