I am thinking of buying a 1951 gmc 2 ton for hauling my work around. I am a sculptor in need of local hauling etc. Does anyone know of a good source for parts for these trucks?

It depends upon what you need. Virtually every part for the motor is available from the auto parts store or one of the speciality vendors listed on this site. Same for electrical. Probably same for brakes. Instruments same. Bearings for tranny and rear end should be available too. All other parts available on the used market.

These include Classic Industries, Jim Carter, etc. You just have to do a google search and you'll find tons of places sell parts for these. Try eBay too. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I would caution you about the brake drums. I don't think you can buy new ones anywhere so if they aren't useable, you have to scrounge for used ones. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 16 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 16 | I appreciate the advice and help, and thanks about the brake drum info. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Yori, I moved you over here to the Big Bolts. You should be able to get some pointers from the guys that drive them. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | RE: brake drums, read Grigg's threads about disc brakes at the top.
