Have you ever had to replace body parts? ie,fleetside toolbox hinges? If so where did you get them? Can you suggest where I can find these body parts? I am in no way soliciting a want ad here, just looking for body parts information. Thanks in advance for any expert knowlege which could cure my dilema. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Guessing from your handle that we are talking about a 71 the only thing I have seen from a parts house related to the tool boxes for these models was the fiberglass box itself.
If my assumption of your truck model is correct I would suggest you contact all the various suppliers such as American Classic, Jim Carter, Year One, LMC, NPD, etc and ask them. Your only other option, other than salvage yard or ebay trolling, is to post a "Wanted" ad in the Swap meet section here or on another website focused specficially on the 67-72 series. There are several.
Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 18 | Checked all (i think) of the restoration places for the parts. Nobody has or can get them. I could build a truck from these cataloges I have, but no hinges. I'll keep checking Ebay. Thanks for the help. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | As much trouble as those boxes are for rust related issues you might just weld a patch over it and sell the pieces you now have. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 196 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 196 | there are lots of wreaking yards in seattle area in befair theres one thats trucks only out in the country theres trucks setting around if you take a day go for a drive you will find parts | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 18 | Thanks. Do you have a name of one that you would recommend? It would be worth my while. I don't wish to simply weld a panel over the hole. I guess thats why they are not real common. Might make it worth a couple more bucks even though I would'nt sell it. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 | You might want to try Mr Tom at Tom Myers Truck

I just received a reply on a month old email. Must have had to do some digging! Dennis' chevy has some. It's hard to believe that some simple hinges proved to be the stumbling block of my restoration project. Thanks to EVERYONE who contributed to my search! | | |
