I would expect to see more product for this generation of truck coming to market soon.

The 60-66 trucks are seeing a huge resurgence in popularity, and the vendors are paying attention. I know that doesn't help your needs now, but hope is on the horizon.

Why cant someone make a short fleet bed for crying out loud? they make weird A stuff like that that few people would want but a SWB bed would sell like mad, even a fiberglass one would sell like mad. Dont yall think so?

Stepside65 · 03-30-2011, 10:00 AM

Can a guy get some 60-63 doors for crying out loud? This stuff is shear nonsense and the stepside fenders are more expensive than repro steel ones... Grr

BR3W CITY · 03-30-2011, 12:23 PM

to me its flattering. its like saying "my modern truck is so ugly that I would spend $7k to make it look at least in part like something 40+ years old"

I'd hate to get that fiberglass itch when I drive my truck.

Tapeworms and fiberglass itch? Sounds fun.

glos55 · 03-30-2011, 01:28 PM

Hey, how about a complete 1 pc. fiberglass truck, fleet or step that bolts to a new vette chassis. You never know!!!!!!!!

csa daddy · 03-30-2011, 02:44 PM

cb1965 · 03-30-2011, 04:05 PM

How long after a vehicle comes out new does GM discontinue part production?

On my Pontiac G8 GXP, one dealer said 10 years, another said 30, which I don't believe the 30. I've heard 10 before, but maybe someone else actually knows.

yes, I am not a fan of stuff with gel coat unless its a boat.

I work for a "different" brand dealership selling parts. As far as I know, there is nothing requiring a mfg to keep parts for 10 years. If its a common part, it will be around for a while. If its an oddball part (say, a seat cover for the G8) it could be gone much sooner than that.

T2vigil · 03-31-2011, 05:40 AM

Unless the law has changed the manufacturer is obligated to produce parts for 10 years. Nothing is said about how many. But since the G8 is made down under, I have one, I have no Idea what the law says down there.

I sell parts for a dealer, and I know for a fact there are many parts I cannot get on cars less than 10 years old. These are mostly oddball parts, such as interior plastic, seat covers, ect

If there is any law, it may to do more parts such as seat belts, air bags, and emmissions parts.
