Ace Pickup Parts, Chuck's Trucks, Millie's Auto + Truck Salvage, Classic Auto Parts and [the late] Wahl Brothers are places I've had some luck at.

Hey dirtmagee if you look at the pics. the blue bed that has a fender wall in it, is a short bed and looked to be in good condition. I would call the dude and ask how much he wants. Action auto and truck parts 520-790-3600

IIRC that tan Harvester truck in the weeds at Action [Post #4, Pic #4 ] used to have a cop spot on the roof. I guess somebody snatched it.
Justtime, I must've been at Ace's a long time ago.

Chucks Trucks has only one '67 longbed fleetside, not too clean. Also has a '66 910 Canadian GMC w/ a 292. But he wants $200 for the core motor. I did score a set of blazer seats and center console from an early '80s Jimmy.

Well, I'm using them as lounge chairs in the shop just now. The Console is the same as my '71 Jimmy console, except it has 3x3" square holes instead of cigarette pack slots or cup holders. The passenger seat is the type that unlatches from the floor and swings forward to access to the backseat. Also saved the in-floor bracket the seat clips to. Drivers seat is fixed upright.
I might put them in my '67 Suburban project when that gets under way. They are a horrible black/burgundy pattern, but I can dye them when the time comes.

Hey! Next time you go back, see if one of those desert trucks has a heater delete setup. I'd be interested! pm me if you find one

Wow! Wish we had that up here in New England! Everything up here has either been crushed or rusted beyond use.

Funny thing about the desert -- it's not hot all the time. It gets darn cold at night and in the winter, since the sun's heat is mostly reflected up, and there's not much to retain heat on the ground.
Moral of the weather lecture is that heaters are common. We use them all the time, especially if it gets below a bone chilling 50 degrees. [You gotta have thinned-out blood to handle the + 100* days in the summer.]
Anyway, I've never seen a Heater Delete. :devil:
