Does anyone know of the "go to" site for ordering replacement parts for these trucks?

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
 

You live close to SpeedwayMotors.com (in Lincoln)
They will send you a catalog.

i use http://www.classicparts.com/ from what i have ordered they are way cheaper than LMC. but that was just my personal experience to each his own. id say give them a look, they seem to have everything im always looking for and usually have pictures of them

I have 5.3 sitting in the garage for it. I am in the process of trying to find a built 4l80e/th400 for it. Next winter I may do a turbo.

I am going to leave the original patina and do a satin clear. This will be a driver.

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
 

So we got a lot done today! Got the 4l80e cleaned up, new flex plate on the 5.3. Slid the motor and transmission in, fits like a glove!

what a great start! you leaving the paint? please say yes...

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
 

The paint is getting a flat clear.. That is all :)

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
 

yeah, after I said that I read your earlier post. you have all the parts for it that look to be missing?

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
 

Mostly everything I think. I have enough extra parts to build a 2nd one if I had another cab/chassis. I got a trailer full of extra parts with the truck when I bought it.
