Now for the ? I am located just north of Dallas, Tx and am looking for GOOD local parts suppliers, anyone know of any? I will be needing a few of the usual body parts,(rockers, etc).

D@mn, I was afraid you'd ask me that. It's been way too long since I was even in Fort Worth...I think it was the west side of town...a long strip of them. A buddy took me there once back in '95 or so...maybe '96. Found bout a dozen of these trucks in there...got a great condition Fleet GMC gate for 45 bucks.

There are several salvage yards in Ft Worth off of Hwy 121 take Carson south to Elliott Reeder road and there are yards on both sides.
As for rockers evryone I have talked to says that Original GM is the best fit they cost more but they do fit.

Welcome from Dallas. Try Elliot Reeder Rd.,Jefferson Hwy 80(YellowBelly dragstrip) & there is a couple of yards in Seagoville area off 175 just east of 635. Oh yeah... Bobby Burks @ Central Chevy Connection(I think) in Ft.Worth for resto truck parts.
