Re: Fix and Sale 72 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 K2500
Today I was in the process of ordering a new radiator and a new reproduction front passenger fender from RockAuto. Right before I pressed the button to go to checkout online, I thought I would try one more source I know on the other side of town for a used fender. Sent him a descriptive text and and image of the damage to the original fender I have on the truck, explaining I need either a 1968 Chevy fender or a 69-72 GMC fender or a fender that has the section I need. He texted back and said I have it and its yours for $60....score! Going in the morning to pick it up, while I am there I will see if he has a drivers bedside or a section patch.....keeping the fingers crossed for the last piece of the puzzle.
By the way I did order the radiator for $129 delivered to the door, cant wait for the brown Santa truck to show up again!
