New and looking for help :) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

IronAnRkst · 08-19-2013, 11:36 PM

Well finally got me one like I wanted since I was a kid.. Got me a 1983 Scottsdale a few weeks ago.. Anyway, any ideas of different places to look up parts and things like that..?

Also, I may look into painting it, any ideas as far as best reasonably priced auto paint?

As far as parts go: hit up your local salvage yards. IMHO I'd rather referb a salvage piece than pic up a repop out of LMC. I'm taking my time to find good OEM parts. There are guys on this site with enough take off and nos parts to build a hole truck. Paint: there's a million

Welcome to the forum! Glad you got the truck of your dreams, or if it isn't yet we look forward to the progress you make towards that.

Original parts group (OPG), gm goodmark, brothers truck, year one and some things LMC truck. All are goo places to look for your needs on parts. We all have a good idea on what's good to get and what's overpriced so don't be afraid to ask
