bigjimzlll · 05-31-2008, 12:47 AM

Found a website that has every part for our trucks...even fenders and bedsides
I heard the quality was good.
All parts that start with the letter 'G" are fiberglass

stuff, pricey too

Super73 · 05-31-2008, 06:51 AM

Cheaper than US Body. Jim, I don't like you any more.. You going to make me open my wallet sooner than expected for a glass front end..

I was told they were only available with new purchases of complete frontend kits and not for sale as individual replacement parts.... this is where US BODY WORKS belongs....

I did notice that http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/chevgmc2.html does have the "tilt front end kit" I am looking for.... BIG THANKS BIG JIM..... ....... NO THANKS US BODYWORKS : > (

Hey "73" I slide the front end on & off my C10 "by myself" ..... can you imagine how your frontend would stay even higher in the air than it does NOW going down the 1/4 mile????

BTW...just got done packing ....leaving tomorrow morning for the Gasser Reunion at Thompson Raceway ..... http://www.gassermagazine.com/events.html ....... been waiting ALL WINTER for this weekend.... it should be AWESOME !!!!!

PA-Indian - Ohio George still runs his speed shop in Dayton.
I happened to be flipping thru my GPS and ran into the shop address.
I was only like a mile away so I ran over and spent about 2 hours with George and his son.
I even have the poster shown in the picture in my office.
George still does alot of work on the old ford motors, 427, 428 & 429's.
They even have a Buick motor in the shop from the Indy lights days. At one time they made every motor for indy lights.
Walking history is what he is. Same shop that he has worked out of for decades - proclaims it is the oldest continuously run speed shop in the nation.
Tons of trophy's from over the years in the shop as well.
They have so many old parts it makes you sick, they had just dug out a hurst wheels metal shipping drum to sell on ebay when I was in. Hurst used to send out all their wheels in these drums about the size of a 30 gallon grease drum with the white black and gold hurst logos on the side.

'68 BigBlock... yes ...George is a VERY likeable LEGEND of drag racing. Truly the high pont of the weekend. We talked & talked. Plus I had just purchased a video of the 1958 Nationals off of eBay and told George how he was shown making a pass .... then he told me the whole story.

Being we are not far from Dayton, OHIO (Pittsburgh) George said to stop by his shop sometime.... Can't wait to do that

This must be my year... Don Gartlis is coming to our local drag strip later this Summer. Now if I can just meet LINDA VAUGHAN & Shirley Muldowney....

MORE Pics from the Gasser reunion....

Anyone talk with these folks about the parts?
I emailed them a couple months back and never got a response.

Super73 · 06-05-2008, 12:05 AM

I called and spoke to Rob yesterday. Didn't order anything just yet though.. Just bought a trailor andselling a bunch of stuff first.

regan wilson · 06-16-2008, 06:59 PM

djracer · 06-16-2008, 07:49 PM
