I arrived at Accessoryland this morning at 9:45 AM. Bob quickly greeted me and the next two plus hours were incredible, to say the least! He's been in business for over fifty years and while he's in the process of closing, he's undertaking the enormous task of organizing and re-organizing his entire inventory. I'd say he's picked hundreds of ADs to the bone. There are many, many, many high quality take-off parts, a significant amount of NOS parts, and loads of reproduction parts available. Some Ford NOS may be availble too. He also has a vast collection of vintage spotlights, foglights, and bracket kits. In reality, there is so many parts I can't even begin to list everything. The only thing missing is a frame, but the rest of the truck parts are there..... Bob's a mail order business man and will definitely ship parts to you. He wants to put these parts in the right hands so people can enjoy their trucks and complete their projects(if that's really possible). The inventory will diminish over time and an offer for the entire inventory would be carefully considered by Bob and his wife Suz.
We also spent some time looking at a couple of his prize ADs: a 1949 pickup and a 1952 Suburban. The Suburban is sitting on a 1990s version GMC Sonoma S-15 and is fully equipped. The '49 pickup is amazing. I believe it was restored in late 1970s. Just look a these pictures. Pay special attention to the detail on the hardwood oak, tongue and groove custom built bed. It's absolutely gorgeous!
If you're in the area or within a hundred miles, Accessoryland is worth a visit. I believe there is ample time to acquire what you need, unless a buyer cuts a deal for the entire lot. I've attached his business card for future reference. If you need something, give Bob at Accessoryland a call. He would love to help you out!
Let me know if you have any questions. It was quite a morning!!!
