If you tell us what parts you're looking for, hopefully someone on the forum will be able to help.
Good luck with your project, and keep the photos coming.

Thanks Ed,
I understand about the smaller trucks, but a good number of the parts, especially body parts are the same, except the big fenders. If you notice in the photo of the front they committed another crime and cut out the “M” and part of the grill surround to make room for a siren. The grill and the “GMC” are common to all the trucks, but not the bottom surround, it’s much bigger to accommodate for how the cab sits up higher on the frame. So looking for one of those. I’ve found some good “GMC’S” on eBay.
So since getting the bed liner paint job off might get pretty aggressive I’m probable, sadly going to loose my 1965 patina. So probably eventually gonna have to paint it, so thinking of changing to a chrome grill. So looking for a chrome grill and “GMC” letters.
Luckily it’s pretty mechanically sound, runs and drives great, leaks out of everything that holds fluid. I’m thinking to do it right and do the truck justice I’m gonna have to do frame off restoration.
I like pictures too, so I’ll try to oblige.
