I can tell you worked on an AD and not an Art Deco. Good luck finding used stuff to replace missing parts for Art Deco trucks, especially if you're missing something that's GMC specific.
I guess it would be difficult to fix what you ain't got. smile


My point was that at least in this area, parts for AD trucks are easy to find, so it's easy to find an old part to fix. The Art Deco trucks are much harder to find parts for though, and sometimes it's impossible and you have no choice but to buy a new part. In that case you rely on the vendor to sell what they say they're selling and it to fit as it should.
