Swap meet this weekend

I'm going to drive about 1.5 hours on Friday. Hoping to find a RH front fender for my '56 Panel, and maybe some original taillights.

You can buy reproduction taillights from the parts vendors like Carpenter. They aren't that expensive.

Don't let me discourage you from going to a swap meet. Our first decent swapmeet isn't until the end of next month. Fortunately it's only about five miles from my house.

Thank You Thom!

I hope you find your fender, tailights, and other cool stuff you didn't know you needed!

Thanks. If I see them I would buy the windshield gasket, door w.strips, front doors and panel rears, a good speedometer, or maybe one of the cast aluminum panels to mount aftermarket gauges in a '56 dash. Of course, I'll buy anything that's '53-56 Panel only. Rear doors, yeah right , or any rear door hardware. Oh, I still need a panel only gas tank.
