Default Need some help finding parts for a 1949 Chevy Deluxe.

Well I'm helping one of my dad's friends to restore a Chevy Deluxe, the only thing is I have absolutely no idea where to get the parts I need. Right now I'm looking for an original steering wheel and the weatherproofing rubber to go around the glass. Do any of you perhaps know of a website where I could get this? The car is in Turkey so if they ship internationally huge bonus.

Nobody seems to sell parts for those anymore. About all you could do is either find a parts car, or find someone parting out parts cars.

Here's someone doing that, couple years later than yours but things might be compatible... try giving this guy a call: http://www.hemmings.com/index.cfm/fu...-model-Deluxe/
mixed - 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe - Renfrew, PA
CHEVROLET 1951-52 Deluxe sedan parts: NOS rear quarters, $150 ea; trim, 235 engine, lots of NOS suspension parts, dash, grilles, clips, brake drums, 4-doors, trunk lids, rims, 6v bulbs, 52 parts cars, good sheetmetal, $250. 724-285-8321 after 6 pm EST, PA.
Or here's someone in Texas selling a 49 and a 51: http://www.collectorcarads.com/addetail.asp?CarID=15718

Or you could try sending out a request to salvage yards, such as from http://www.partrequest.com/used_chevrolet_parts.htm

You can get most parts for it at Chevs of the 40's

Here's a few links that may come in handy :

1929 - 1954 Master Parts and Accessories Catalog

1949 Fisher Body Service and Construction Manual

1949 Chevrolet Passenger Car & Truck Specifications

1949 - 1953 Chevrolet Passenger Car Shop Manual

A couple of message boards with tons of info:

ChevyTalk.org

Hotrodders.com/

Hope this helps
