what parts are no longer available to get?
 

I only ask this because my spring on my catch plate snapped so my hood didn't lock down into place.....and I couldn't just replace the spring....the whole unit that sat in the top of the grill had to be removed....I found a really good one at the bone yard and took it home and cleaned it with a wire brush and then treated it with a rust treatment primer...the spring is in excellent condition and should last for 80 or so years.....but I checked all after market places for one and none are available.....what other parts are no longer available?

HMMM......TOW HOOKS!

If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Forget about "do it right the first time". Do it wrong the first time to learn how, then do it right the second time.

Third door and rear hatch sill plates for suburbans. Also, rear hatch handle for the suburban lift gate. This is what I would like to have. (Among other things)

Frame, and cab.

correction, frame is available, Jim Meyer Racing, maybe jimmeyerracing.com? they advertise in Classic Trucks, they show a dropped one, with the front and rear framerails raised, dont know if they have a stock height one though, the price for the rolling chassis is 5 grand or something liek that

I think many people would be surprised at how many parts are still available at the dealers

What about tailgate hardware?

They make a fiberglass cab, but it is pretty expensive. $4600 is a lot...but it wouldn't rust http://67-72chevytrucks.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif.

My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10. Rebuilt 350, roughly 300 HP thanks to a 204/214 duration cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and 1406 carb, headers, and 40 seires Flowmaster mufflers. Ochre with a white top. Lots of fun :).

If you had the money you could build a truck from the ground up. It would be better than new ones and with fiberglass last longer than the originals. Thing is is that if I did that it would never go outside!

Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.

Hey isn't there a company already that will build a truck from ground up (67-72) according to your specs? I thought i saw a website for it and i guess they ran them for around 30k or so.... been along time since i saw that website but i was sure of it! Later!
