49 panel schooling (needed) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NONHOG · 09-10-2009, 12:04 PM

Be a # of questions here feel free to help anyway you can.

Brothers looks to have good prices, before I give them a card # should I consider elsewhere ?
Need windshield and side glass to start.

Rear fenders are rough at best, any patch panels ? will p.u. rear fenders work
for patches ? (I know they wont fit)
Or is it time to justify getting an english wheel ?

Wondering if a Blazer tank would fit ? Since I have one I never installed on my ol 70.

Is the button on the L of the gas pedal the starter switch ?

Thanks in advance ! More to come as I think of them.

Rob English makes some patch panels for panels/burbs (oldgmctrucks) although it looks like their website is temporarily down.

Also you can often find stuff from Mothertrucker if you're looking for used.

In general I always check ebay to see if any of the sellers are having sales, I've saved a bunch on stuff that way. Also check with site supporters (gmcpauls, etc.) I think they give discounts too site paying members. I don't think Mar-K is making panel stuff but other body parts common to pickups is good quality and made in USA at competitive prices.

+1 for weirdness.

Volvos are very safe cars. You might survive a head on collision at 150 MPH with just the grill....LOL

Rear fenders are NOT the same as truck. Specific to panel/ burb.

I am sure some of my patch panels will be homemade. Was hoping to cut out
parts of truck rear fenders to patch rust, looks like this rig will force my metal working skills. (what metal working skills?

)
