Victor, here is a list of vendors. I have never had a problem with any of
them, and it seems that their prices are pretty consistent.

I love the 235 in my 50 model. Had it rebuilt 12 years ago, and it has been
a great engine. I did change the rear end gear ratio so I can drive on the
freeway, and added Vintage Air. Good luck!

I have a 55 Chevrolet First Series Panel Truck that i want to restore. I need
help:
Roof was used as a ladder to install a swamp cooler by previous owner so it
was warped. It was repaired years ago but bondo is chipping and I want it
done right.
Otherwise, the body seems to be in fairly good shape, minimal rust.
Engine 235 is in good shape and i drive the Panel once weekly to work or
grocery store. i don't drive far, just local stuff.
Questions:
1. Who would be best supplier of rubber for body, doors, etc?
2. My doors need to be re-built because of alignment and rubber issues, etc
Any instructions or suggestions?
3. What problems can i anticipate as we start to dismantle the body panels!?
4. Did these vehicles come in a baby blue color?
Thanks for your help.

There sure has been a change in the activity of the list. I got on back
when the guru Bob Adler was still here, probably 12+ years ago, and there
were many messages every day.
Both of my trucks have been daily drivers for years now, and I got a lot of
good advice and answers to lots of questions over the years. Made a lot of
friends also. There are still plenty of old trucks on the road, some not so
old that are gradually getting there. Miq, I hope you keep the thread
going, and good luck to all! Old trucks forever~
