Hi, all. I'm a newbie, so this is my first post. I picked up this 54 as a Chieftain, but i was told there is no such thing as a Canadian Chieftain. Rather it was a Laurentian. Thanks Cowboy. I found her on kijiji in April. She was a little rough, but very restoreable. It read 80,877 miles. I bought it from the n...

Would like to renew or replace suspension and steering parts on my '57 Laurentain. Does anyone have recommendations for parts suppliers in Alberta, particularly around Edmonton? I know I can use '57 Chevy parts, but where can I get them?

Hello, gang! My Chieftain is a 25-69D, trim code 471 and paint code 264. Body is 834. Haven't been able to find anything that would link paint name to paint colour. Suspect paint code 264 is either of the named colours of blue, but can anyone confirm, pls. Tks R.
