Lost parts....

I have been working on my 70 Suburban (finally) now that I have time and a nice new garage to work in. Well I am upgrading to some Porterbuilt Stage 2 stuff and I thought while I had some other stuff apart I would take a load of parts over to be powdercoated. I took them 43 parts total of suspension, accessory brackets, pulleys, my new PB goodies, etc. and well... I only got 40 back. The powdercoater lost a few things. First was an inner front bumper bracket, you know, the small one. No biggie, I have more. The next two are different, one of my AC compressor brackets and one of my power steering pump brackets. This sucks because they are big block pieces and tough to find... just my luck. They couldn't lose something that I could have just ordered up another one, nope they have to lose the good stuff. The best part is that when I called to tell them I was missing something the guy asked if I had unwrapped all the parts, they wrap everything up in paper, anyway I was like...nope I unwrapped half of it and decided I was missing something

Anyway.... just wanted to share my sad story

If you guys have any leads on big block brackets please let me know, also I posted a WTB : http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=630533

Re: Lost parts....

Any idea what the BB bracket looks like? I have some Corvette BB brackets in my storage.
