My name is Ørjan but you can call me Orjan, since Ø isn`t a international letter :)
I currently own a rare ´39 Oldsmobile c-159 truck, and I´m missing a lot of parts. The truck is basically a rebranded GMC truck with a new grille and hood emblems. The truck was made for export markets only.
It has been sitting outside, under a tree since 1963 and the truck looks like crap. But I´m hoping I can get it assembled again in a few years.
Is there anyone on this forum that has any information regarding these trucks?
I´m looking for the following:
Workshop manual ( I have one for the ´37 olds but thats a different truck)
Hardcopy of the ´39 olds customer brochure.
Chevy/Gmc/Olds front fenders
Chevy/Gmc/olds Headlights
1939 chevy truck grille

I'm hoping, too, that you can get this truck together again. You posted in the 'Welcome Centre" and it's good to see who is new here. But you should maybe ask your question in 'General truck' where more people will see it.
Good luck, Leo | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | Not all that many come to this forum after their initial welcome posts. You will have better luck posting your wanted requests in the "Parts Wanted" forum. There is a specific forum for most everything you do to the truck. Experts are at your disposal in each one. Welcome to Stovebolt, you have a cool truck.
