Howdy All! New Guy In Town.....

[Ben Dover]

First off, I just want to say howdy to all on this great board. I’ve been lurking in the background for a month or so, and finally got authorization to post.

I picked up a ’82 K30 dually flatbed and I’m going to fix it up for dragging antique tractors to tractor shows, and I have a couple of questions for you.

First, where is a GOOD place to get interior parts? I’m looking for an instrument cluster circuit board, possibly the whole panel minus gauges and also a dash bezel. I’m quite familiar with Ebay, but sometimes the descriptions can be a LITTLE misleading. Any ideas?

Second are door panels and a dash pad or cover. I’ve looked at most of the websites, but I don’t know who has quality parts at reasonable prices vs Off-Shore (PC, right?) junk.

I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions and maybe an opinion or two, just give me some time to roll around under the truck!

welcome to our addiction. i have yet to purchase any interior parts or dash parts from anyone, so i cant comment on the quality, but im sure others will be able to help you out. just wanted to welcome you to the board.

[bigblock73]

Since my last name is odd (Dodge), and since I have been harassed by many since I drive a Chevy, is your real last name Dover?

If it is, that is cool, if not...it isn't too late to change your SN.

As far as your questions, I would check the dealer first. If they cannot help, Year One, Golden State, and Classic Industries seem to carry good quality parts. I personally would stay away from Cheyenne Pickup Parts and LMC...it is a 50/50 shot with those two.

Welcome to the board!

Jeff:

I am wondering too. There is a British porn series by the name of Ben Dover. Since he is from Idaho, probably not.

Anyways, Ben, welcome to the board.

[Blue Beard]

Welcome.

[Ben Dover]

Guys,
Thanks for the welcome, I hope you still feel that way in a year!

I’ve already ordered up catalogs from Year1, Golden State, Classic Industries, LMC and Cheyenne. A little comparison shopping in the “office” should keep me out of the families hair!

Bigblock, I checked with the local dealer, and he told me to check online first. I hope he isn’t relying on a bonus check for an increase in sales (grin).

BlueBeard, I’ll get ‘em back, don’t worry!

GChemest, If she bends over, she might not get back up.
I spent 15 minutes going thru all your links (grin), ain’t cut-and-past great?

Thanks again,

Ben

[apstguy]

Don't forget to get a free one from Chevy Duty.
