You can get most of the general maintenance parts if you have a parts store with knowledgeable people who can still read the books. The parts store computer is hit and miss mostly miss at best. I have bought carb rebuild kits, brake parts etc. Check out the links to the vendors on the stovebolt homepage. They are all great.

... I found all my brake stuff at and through Advance Auto Parts. Seals, bearings and brake shoes. Your 53 should be the same as my 52 so if you need a part number give me shout and I'll help you with what I can.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Hi 1953mn,welcome from Scotland.
Heck,if we 'Brits' can get parts,I'm sure you can.
The Stovebolt is by far the best site for these old trucks.
Good luck with your new project,don't forget to post some pics....
