I am getting close to having my truck done suspension and rust repair wise. I cannot find a GMC grill to save my life, apparantly they are not made anymore, is this true? Where can I search for a used one. Ebay shows nothing.

On a bagged laying frame 65 C10 what is a good/affordable shock for it? I am running lowering blocks on stock trailing arm with a big notch. The front is dropped spindles and bags with a modified crossmember to lay frame.

Where can I find oem fenders? I need the lower 14" of the front fenders and I want it to fit well.

I was visiting southern California about two weeks ago and I am pretty sure that I saw a GMC grill hanging on the wall at "Truck Shop". They have a large showroom with all sorts of NOS parts hanging on the walls and ceiling.

Their phone number is 1(800) 243 8947
WWW.TruckandCarShop.com

You might give them a call and check it out

I was having the same problem until yesterday, found a good chrome gmc grille and a gmc fleetside tailgate locally. Just keep looking you will eventually find what you need.....Kieth

ps I am trying a experiment on my old 66 gmc grille----we are painting it medium fawn metalic hopefully it will look good with my green truck. Will have it painted tomorrow and installed over the weekend.......will post pictures when it is installed. Kieth
