    where are all the C1 parts?

    Am thinking that the last time I recall seeing a new C1 in the Chevy dealership they all had folding tops (except for the hardtop only cars), all the chrome, gauges, etc. Who is the person that seems to have removed all these parts from the cars over the years?

    53 to 62 gas tanks

    I am trying to find a gas tank for my 54. Anyone know why my '69 Chev parts book calls for 53 to 62 to use the same fuel tank (#3796030), but the repop tanks are listed as 56 usage, or the vented ones for 57 to 62? I have written to the tank mfgrs & they don't even know!
