I would like to find a Thriftmaster. I am new at this and I don't really know where to start looking. Thanks for the help

I will have a complete engine assy, in beautiful running order, available in late spring. It was rebiult summer of '05, but I don't have receipts to prove. It is in a truck I own and it runs and drives very well. The new gaskets are very visible, and I put 3000+ miles on it summer of '06 without missing a beat or using oil.Let me know. Grant. | | |

Here are a few yards to contact. All American Classics Inc., 1930-1980 models out of Vancouver Washington. Their # is 800-955-4999. From Calif there is Fins and Flames, 1940-1960. Their # is 909-829-2041. Chevy Truck Salvage, 1948 and up 714-554-1850. Turners' Auto Wrecking, 1928 and up, 559-237-0918. These and MUCH MORE are in the chevy/gmc truck parts locating guide. No other book like it that I have seen. Go to www.gardenofspeedin.com and send for one of these valuable books. It tells where you can find just about anything for restoring classics from interior to reproduction manufacturers to you name it. Worth every penny to get one. H. | | |
