Chef Wayne Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 I'm a new owner of a 1948 B-1-C and looking for parts. I live in southern California and curious where I can find some parts at a junk yard. I'm specifically looking for a back bumper.. Quote
Los_Control Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 welcome to the forums. Is your B1C a flatbed, or does it have a regular bed? Just curious. I also have a B1C that is a factory flatbed, it also has no rear bumper. While a B3B I have, was original a pickup box and has a rear bumper. I plan to make my own bumper, but understand that is not a ideal solution for everyone. Show some pics, we loves pics !!! Quote
Chef Wayne Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Posted January 25, 2017 Truck has a pickup box. I'm looking for a back bumper to make it easier to step up into the bed. (Not as young as I used to be) I will post some pictures of my truck when I figure out how to make the file size smaller so they are under the 3MB file size. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Welcome! We have the For Sale/Wanted section of the forum to post in if you are looking for parts. Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Welcome Chef. There have been Pilothouse step bumpers listed on C/L from time to time. Last one I saw listed was in San Diego. Jeff Quote
Chef Wayne Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Posted January 25, 2017 Not looking for a any specific parts. More interested if anyone can help me locate junk yards / salvage yards that might have pilothouse trucks where I can pick some parts Quote

More interested if anyone can help me locate junk yards / salvage yards that might have pilothouse trucks where I can pick some parts stuff like that is allowed in the general area along with requests for which vendor might have xxx part. Outright parts requests need to be in the buy sell section. Make sure posts are worded as such so you don't get them locked or moved. I believe there is a yard in Turner CA? Hopefully someone can verify that. 1 Quote
Reg Evans Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 It's Turners Auto Wreckers in Fresno,CA. Quote
48Dodger Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Rear bumpers are like hen's teeth. It was an option, which lead to most bumpers being home made or dealer made at the time. They are out there, but anyone who's been with these trucks for awhile, know to prize it. As far as part's go....May I suggest The Clements Tailgate BBQ??? It's in California and a great way to meet people from the forum and make contacts for the resto project. 48D Edited January 28, 2017 by 48dodger 1 Quote
