i am in east coast of canada and not alot arround here
i also need a good drivers fender and a 67-68 hood

I believe GMC used leaf springs standard and Chevy had coils.Other than that any swb frame should work.Either set-up.Go with a 71-72 for the front disc brakes if you can.As for finding a frame and the other items you can acess the classifieds on this Bulletin board if you are a subscriber.Most of what you need should be posted there.There are also some members who sell reproduction parts if you want new stuff.To subscribe go to the top of the page and look at the stickies.It's $25.00 well spent.

a GMC would have the same fenders 68 up to 72.
The frame Q... any 67 - 72 chevy or GMC swb would work as a frame donor... step side and fleetside... same frame was used.
