Parts help needed
 

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me locate a part.
I'm looking for the bushing that holds fresh air inlet door into cab under cowl. I have looked at many part suppliers with little to no luck. Images below show picture of white bushing under cowl.

Hey Brother! I keep those in a jar next to the hen's teeth ;)
Seriously, they are hard to find and no one makes them in the aftermarket world. I know, been there - done that!
You would have better luck posting a WTB parts section.
That's how I found the one for my truck.
Another possibility is if you have access to a 3D printer or know someone who does, you might be able to make one. Better yet, make a bunch of them and sell them.
One snag there is you have to have one to make them.
I have one I would LEND to you for the 3D process. If you are successful all I ask is the return of the one I lend you and a couple of the finished product.
Good luck in the hunt.

I bought one in a used parts assembly from a guy, and it was almost toast, so I fired up the lathe and made one. They are simple to make.

Lathe nothin; for those of us without lathes and in need of a small part like that, I'd go to the junkyard and find a slightly larger piece of plastic and simply make one using an angle grinder. It'd be crude but it'd be made of newer plastic and probably work fine.

If someone could draw it up, I could easily print one.

I have an entire stock AC system from a 1970 C10. Ill go through the box tomorrow and see what I can find.

I also have some. If you don’t have any luck send me a PM and I will get you hooked up. Don

Are you talking about the white piece?

Make a drawing with the dimensions (you can just draw it by hand) and post it here.

Thanks for your help. If you could please send me pictures and possibly outside diameter of part as my son has a 3D printer. Thanks

Re: Parts help needed
 

Do you not have one at all to take off and measure? I don't have one to look at but if someone could post dimensions and pics I could see what I can do.

I have a 3d printer.
