My son just turned 12 last month & is madly in love with an OLD 85 GMC pick up that his dad used to drive & he wants to restore it. It is in ROUGH, ROUGH shape... but, he loves it. He says it has "sentimental value"...:) So, OK, I'm good with that since he is willing & has done a lot of work to even get it running again. My only issue is that we are obviously going to need restoration parts. Can anyone suggest a company or catalog for good '85 GMC restoration parts? Thank you! Sorry I was off the chevelle subject, but I trust this site & I wasn't sure where to start. Thanks again!

LMC is cool and I love thier catalogs!
These trucks are great and there a million of them on the road, so finding used sheet metal, beds, cabs, fenders, is pretty easy....

I have a 1980 SWB that was my dad's... I'm restoring it for the exact same reason!

got pics of the ol' girl?? what are the major things you need??
