Denny,
I met WD via the internet.
Keith Hardy gave me his email address.
I was real hot & heavy at that time
buying lot's of NOS parts every week.
I'm still buying parts.....but in the last
3/4 years it seems nos parts have really kind of
dried up.
I bought many many parts from WD.
And I'm glad I did.
We used to talk on the phone often.
I really liked it when he would give me
his opinion...before I made a ebay part purchase.
I was in my infancy in nos parts buying
for my '54 3600.
When I started buying front suspention
parts. WD suggested, that I upgrade to
one ton tie rod ends. He said, he had made
up a kit & it would run me about $150.00 .
I never learned anymore about his kit as
I was & still am a GM NOS parts only guy.
This email below is when I asked him about rear bumper
brackets for my GM NOS chrome step bumper
A quote from an email from WD: dated 04/08/10
Did you check with Tom Myers in Miami, OK. From 1947-50 the Chevrolets came with a rear bumper than they made it a option so a lot of the early AD trucks had them, You are probably looking at $85-$100 for nice ones.
There is stuff around I bought 6 NOS 1 ton tie rods this week those things are getting hard to find because the 3/4 owners use them to update their trucks with the newer tie rod ends.
WD
Denny,
Not much technical help.
But it does give you a little insight.
