Greg,
let me know if you "run into" any hard to find 69 parts you won't be needing(nos or great shape).
Looks like you might be ebaying for the same stuff I want /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif... /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif Having lived in NJ,
I know you won't be finding too many(if any) older trucks in the boneyards out there.

I am currently seekin an NOS rear bumper, or excellent used shape GM.

Jake,

You could always try Vintage Chevy in Fremont, CA.

The guy that runs that place is Bill O'Grady and he specializes in the 67-72 years. I'm not saying that it will be CHEAP, but if there's something specific you need, he probably has it.

He almost DIED when I told him that I have not one, but TWO single-wall hardtops and that I spent less than $200 for the package!!! He would sell a singlewall top (in decent, uncut condition) for something like $1500.

I've been able to find everything I want so far via CK5, but if there's something you just HAVE to get, and are desperate enough, Bill is probably the guy who has it.

Yeah I agree. Bill is a nice guy. I have bought soem stuff from him. He does have those hard to find pieces, or atleast knows where to get them.

Nice progress. It will be real nice when your are done.

Dang 1500 for a single wall top???? Any one need a nice top?

I spoke to Bill(vintage) when I was shopping for a top...he wanted $800 or so for one in good shape.

Greg,
Any pics of the 69 you have? Is it in parts? Are you doing a ttl resto?
Where is your 69 from?
