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/
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
