Hello, I've been wanting to find an old medium duty dump truck with a 5 yard box but I'm concerned about parts availability. I really like the 60-66 GM medium duty trucks however are drivetrain, brake, suspension and steering parts available for them? I know it will all depend on the specific trucks build as to what's still available and if I have to go to specialty shops or purchase parts online that's fine. Just worried about having to rely on a dwindling supply of used and nos parts for repairs. Same goes for 67-72 and 73-80's mediums as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.
