    At least he had insurance. down here, they just call all their "cousins" to show up - "Y churans, no tengo"
     
  2. NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo...[sob]...Chris, that's always been my very favoritist truck in the entire world..almost. If you'd have taken my generous trade offer [the 55 ford I sold ya] it wouldn't have been in the path of the cavalier-idiot. Damn...I hate to see it.
    I gotta good buddy who's building a 59, using a 56 front clip but with the difficulties he's had collecting all the 55-56 chrome grille parts I really doubt he'll ever sell any of his parts...I'll ask tho.
    Here's a photo of better days for the GMC.

    I am so sorry to see what happened to you and feel your pain about your truck.
    I also own a 56 GMC "Frances" and she is part of the family... :)

    I have had good luck with Ecklers and LMC and I will call a friend that has a 56 GMC Parts truck to see what he has left of it.

    I'm sure you have checked out http://67-72chevytrucks.com/

    Good luck to you I hope you are back on the road soon.

    Thanks to all the HAMB guys I found most everything but need a right door, the fender slid back and crushed the inner skin. I want to find an original GM door, if you have any ideas let me know
