sweptline parts search

anyone know of any good salvage yards that deal with sweptline trucks only?i have been looking everywhere for a rear bumper and brackets for my 68 utiline s/b,having a hell of a time finding one,lol,thanks

The only person I know is Jim Welters in Verona, Missouri. He has a few dozen on his property. Have you tried the Sweptline forums?

yes,i've looked on there several times and ebay,if i even had a good descriptive picture(i/e demensions and such) i would take a shot at making my own,lol,i really dont wanna a new style bumper on it,i like the old ones better,i'm wierd,lol

Buds Salvage in Aline Ok has a few sweptlines.

I have a 69 but it's a long bed maybe brackets are the same I have several sweptlines but no utiline beds

I am in need of a 70-71 tailgate a set of side mirrors and a grill

The Utiline rear bumper is a hard to find item. Did you post a wanted ad on sweptline.org or just look for one listed? I haven't seen one listed in a long time but someone might have one they are willing to part with.

There are still lots of these trucks in salvage yards but most are long wide bed trucks with big aftermarket bumpers.

A good tailgate, grille and mirror arms are still out there but you'd be better off looking in the South. The tailgates up here are usually rusted through. I bought 2 really nice grilles from local salvage yards. I've bought many mirror arms over the years as well.
