Yikes,

That is all great stuff !!

Hopefully someone up there can save it all, or some of it.

The GMC CCKW 352 short wheel base beds are even harder to find than the elusive long beds for the CCKW !
Someone is going to need it someday, not to mention they match right up on Chevy trucks as well.

With the cost of fuel these days, an out of state rescuer is very slim.
But there has to be people in Illinois and surrounding states that can save these items, or at least store them on their farm or ranch until a new home is found !!


Keep trying to save them, they are not made anymore and parts are getting harder to find everyday because many are getting scrapped and destroyed.

Good luck Kirk !!

Best Regards,
Ray

Yep, there are several sets of the front side panels, and a couple of the sets still have the hood hold downs. Believe me, there are MANY desirable parts included in this parts stash, but the seller REALLY wants to sell it in one large lot. The price is VERY negotiable if it all goes. The seller has many more pics and an inventory sheet that we put together available for anyone interested.

Interested in the bed for my g506, and the hood if it fits as well.
