Congratulations on your car Jon! But, we cannot help you without pictures. And besides, we are all interested to see it!
The items marked in red above, are found many times on eBay, in either NOS or good used conditions. Personally, I don't care for the reproductions, no matter who makes them. Painting them with a broad brush, most are made off shore, and are poor quality in fit and finish. You can't go wrong using OEM parts made by the General.
The only one that is going to be difficult to find in good condition, is the rear exhaust chrome, since they almost always rotted away from the exhaust gasses.

Standard '57-'58 bumper ends also will not work as they have a different center bar than the CC bumpers. The CC bumper ends bolt to a '54-'55 style center section.
Who can help me to post some pics, cause I cant do it. What do I need to do to post?? I like this site lots of good people here
Hearing, "I just bought a 57 Eureka", makes me feel happy! I remember when I said that....To post pics you can either send them to a website supporter or post a link to them ....I believe there is another way to do it mentioned above...My wife is buying me a PCS membership, or a site supporter subscription for a year, for my birthday...I will post some pics of my 57 when that happens. Eureka rollers come up once in a while on E-Bay and on Craigslist. You can program your ebay profile to send you an email every time a new listing for "Eureka hearse rollers" comes up by clicking, "follow this search".
Here is a link to one for sale now...I do not recommend buying this one...way too expensive. It is best to buy the set all at once...usually less expensive.
It is exciting to have a new member here. Thank you for posting.

That looks like the ones from DNR DNR Link
Here is a pic of the ones they sell ,looks the same .I believe the early Eurekas,s are similar but not exact to these ones from Dnr?

All one here to be is a site supporter to post.. the only way this site has to keep it up and running is threw members supporting it. Top left yellow button if I guessed right
Here are some pics of a 1957. I am not sure if you will be able to see the detail of the rollers...if not, I will take a close up pic tomorrow.

How many years did Eureka use the same basic roller? I know of several '80s Eurekas in Iowa that they would be more than happy to sell the rollers out of! I would think that $25 each would be a fair price for a set.

You can see in your pic that they look similar , but defiantly not the same .The newer style would work in a pinch . depends on how far you want to go and spend on it.

Eureka sure knew how to design, build, and create stunning interiors...often times using components and parts from the local hardware stores in Sterling/Rock Falls.

You have the option of becoming a Super Site Supporter for as little as $35, then you can post pictures, etc. In an earlier post, Doug Lemon offered to post pictures for you, he even put his email address where you can email them.
Nice coach. Put some whitewalls on that thing...
I sent some pics to Dusty this morning he said he will post them. Yes I do need tires I think I will go black wall 235/75/15 michlen
