Speaking of which, I *do* happen to know where there is a C series 1500 in a
junkyard.  Don't know if he'd let you just get the fenders though, it's
complete and I think he wants it to go in one piece if possible so it can go
back on the road (345/4spd combo).  He wanted either $300 or $350 when I
asked him about the whole thing IIRC, so if he would part with the fenders
they wouldn't be too much.  The place is in GA.
