5 window project

My nephew has a chance to get a 5 window chevy truck. He Does not know the year yet. I hang out in the the 72-87 part of the world myself. He wants to know if the parts a available for these trucks? He wants to slowly build a truck for his son who is 2 right now. I told him that should give him enough time to build this project truck.

Any help would be nice.

John

Got duck work in,heating and AC. Radio (stock) in dash with after market in console later, Speaker are hooked up, Steering column is in. Getting ready to drop the cab onto the frame, Working on engine now since I have the room. Well here it is 2018, got the engine in and it runs, now I need to get the exhaust system in so I can adjust the lifters, to loud right now. Got the exhaust on now I am waiting for the break parts to come in.

Re: 5 window project

There are tons of parts for the 47-59. Since it is a 5 window I'm guessing it is 47-55.1.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
