Question salvage yards

Does anyone know of any salvage yards in the mid west that have good sheet metal parts for 57-60 ford trucks?

I have done a lot of searching but havent found anything yet.
I really need a doghouse for my 58.

A garage would be a little roomier...

Seriously, this old iron is getting harder and harder to find. We have the same problem in the Northeast.

Maybe you could try to find a parts truck. I see suitable trucks around my area from time to time. You could then get what you need off of it, and then sell what you don't need to off set the cost.

Midwestern truck parts that are rust free are hard to come buy. I had to buy n.o.s parts because rust free is very hard to find. Although like larry said, parts truck would be ideal(I wish I had the room to go that route). Keep searching lots of classified adds and attend swap meets, those pieces will come around. -4speed
