I just bought this 1947 panel and need find parts for the V8 flathead.
Also is this a rare panel, being bulit so soon after WW II. Any direction to parts will be appreciated.

 

I have a 47 1/2 ton panel and so far the only part that has been difficult to locate is the fuel filler grommet at the neck/body area. All other parts are pretty standard, and I was lucky in getting a '95% all there' car. The taillight bracket is unique to the truck I think,hopefully you have that. Seats are not easy to come across, mine had the drivers side only and it was beat. I tried locating another one and gave up and put a pick-up seat riser and 47 PU seat in the panel, I actually wanted the bech seat as they are not real big on room.
I believe Patricks Automotive(?) in Casa Grande Arizona is big on flathead parts. I did not keep the V-8 in my truck. I have installed a 4.9L I6 with a C6 and Currie 9"-3.25. I have Super Bell discs on the stock front axle using 1955 F-1 shock mounts and a rebuilt steering box. I am searching for a VG to EX cond hood trim strip (the one that sits on top and covers the seam on the hood((sheetmetal one)))If you come across an extra in great cond I am interested. Good luck with your truck.
E-mail if I may be of any help, we have clean,dry,low rust trucks out here.
