Good luck. If you find any let me know. I know where there are a few of them, but they are behind a privacy fence and I have no clue how to get ahold of the owner. They are in awesome shape too. :banghead

I am in Naptown, and not 100% what I am looking for. I know I need the turn signals that go in the grille, a windshield (which I may have found) I might be interested in a cab if it is cheap, close and has less rust than mine (not asking for much, am I?) a front seat, or at least the mounts so I can put one in with little fuss. I would love to find some slots for this truck, too. Love the pics mopardwh!!! Have you ever encountered a unfriendly owner of your picture subjects??? Probably should post some of your stories of getting the pics!!! I am gonna go road trippin' to see what I can find, I wonder how many of these trucks I have passed before I got mine, just out of not being interested in them at the time??

WHERE?!?!?
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Naptown&state=IN :lol:

What year truck are you building? I could probably help you with all of those parts.

Some of the stories are very funny, but most are just drive by snaps. I just wish I had a camera more often. Like this pie crew I found in the country. The dude came to the door butt arse naked!!! :lol: :pale Talk about akward!!!! But honestly, everyone I have talked to has been very freindly about their old Dodges. Good thing too, because I'm not bashful about finding out! :joker

Indianapolis!!! You never heard it called Naptown before???? The old blues players used to call it that, due to the fact we rolled up the sidewalks at night!!!

Don't know what yr truck you need parts for, probably missed it somewhere, but ran across this today. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/1097751267.html

There are a lot of parts I see posted on CL from Kokomo. I believe he is a member but can't recall his name. May have to send him a message if Doug doesn't have what you need.

Doug, a little help here.........

dodged200 is in Kokomo, and DB69 is in Michigan City, and a few more up around that way.

xCOYOTEx, just let me know what year your truck is and what parts you are needing.

At this time I need a windshield, a grille with the turn signal lenses, and the piece below the grille that is between the bumper and the grille(I hope that piece is removable, some @#% cut holes to mount some weird turn signal lights). Later on I will be looking for door panels, a front seat, some factory rear turn signals (whole assembly both sides) and would love to find some old '70s aluminum slots...... And I am sure I will be adding parts to the list!!!!

Also I am looking for the inner fender pieces, as mine have holes in them.
