It was only 250$ and it definatly shows the price so im going to need alot of help from you guys. my 1st question being what parts for this old truck can i get at local auto parts stores? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | 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. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 | The links are great and il probly use alot of them, i plan on ordering most my parts from lmc or Jim Carter, but was wondering about the local auto places for like break parts and stuff, so when i go hopefully ill get lucky and theyve got them for me. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ... 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. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 43 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 43 | Where in MN are you located? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | 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.... Jock
