I'm back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok so it has been a hot minute. I have been fired, I chainsawed a wooden bed frame, I hauled over 5,000 lbs of junk to the dump, closed on the family home, moved to Loris South Carolina, and as of today, Wednesday the 16th I am moving into that home with my family. We are going to paint it. Patch the few holes in the walls, get beds and maybe a couch, and I'm gonna get the garage set up for when I get my truck down here from up north where it's currently getting snowed on. My cousin told me 6-24" so while I kind of miss that weather I'm glad I don't have to deal with driving in it this year. The plans for my truck have changed once again and I am planning on getting it back on the road in 2021. I know I was shooting for 2020 but then 2020 happened. I was wondering though, does anyone know of a good salvage yard where I can get a set of 69-72 fenders. Mine were shot and I originally was going to put a set of 67 fenders on it but I have been looking at the picture I took the day I got the truck home from the used car lot and the more I look at it the more I want to leave it a 69. Keep the body lines of the truck I fell in love with when I was 17. So I need to find either a salvage yard that I can get a set of fenders from or I need to find a board member who would be willing to trade a set of 69 fenders for a set of 67 fenders. The 67 fenders have been patched in a couple of places and will need some filler to make them look good before paint but I put a light coat of primer on them before I moved so they wouldn't rust while I wasn't able to work on it. If anyone knows of a good salvage yard in north or south carolina or is willing to trade please let me know.

Sorry for the long message.

No longer close by, ey? I know where Loris is. Good luck on junk yards in that area. Ask around when you see locals driving older Chevy Trucks

I'll definitely be asking around, and yeah it was time for a change. We were looking closer to conway but we found this place and it had everything we were looking for at a good price point. Definitely don't think we could've gotten a house like we moved into up that way for what we paid down here unless it needed a lot of work. And the best part about it is that I finally have a work shop so my truck can be stored inside.
