I just bought a 68 C20 pickup as a material hauler. It's not a restoration project, by any means, but it does need a few things to be a better rig to drive. Here's what I could use, if you have them.

Cosmetic condition is not that critical to me, unless rust or corrosion is so bad it would impact function.

Driver's side door handle, (mine's missing the thumb button, I assume it's new handle time and can't be fixed with a button.)

Manual pitman arm or power steering gear box and pump for 6 cyl

window handle(s)

good window regulators both sides

decent window channel both sides

accel pedal, (mine's missing, so a half way worn out one would be better)

brake and clutch pads, (clutch is missing, so a half way worn out one would be better. will only replace the brake if I can find one not 3/4's worn out!)

No great hurry. The only thing of any urgency is fixing the pitman. It also has some leaky wheel cylinders, so with all of them combined, it pulls right, then left, and dives in the same direction at the same time from the bad shocks,then repeats the swerving cause of the loose pitman; stopping is a bit like a carnival ride.

Add in the manual brakes, and you're wondering if the ride is actually gonna stop at the end of the ride! yee haw... (I havn't found the guts to drive it on a highway, yet. Just on surface streets, to and from Home Depot for materials.)

Thanks,

GeoD

Let me know f you got any of this stuff and how much you want for it and I'll get you some $$.

ignition switch bezel

Right side heater duct in dash

glove box, (missing mine, so decent better than nothing

rear shocks, (you should this baby bounce!)

working radio that'll fit the holes, (doesn't have to be factory, just a fitter.)

Quite a list.... I like it. I have a lot of what you are looking for. Let me sort through boxes, get pics and prices for you. Thanks, Fred.

Fred, I am still collecting A/C parts. I would be interested in all of the inner and outer A/C stuff when you get around to it. I don't need hoses, engine brackets or the compressor, but I could use the condenser if it is good. I could fly over and get it so you won't need to pack it up. Let me know what you think.

Hey Chad, And everyone else. Sorry for the delay. Had a couple of things come up but I was able last night to get the seat out and get where I can get to everything. I will have you a pic and price on the column this evening. I am hoping to be able to get everyone elses pics/prices lined out as well,, barring any more surprises. Thanks, Fred.

Hey Chad,, and everyone else,, I am back on it for an hour or two this evening. Here is the steering column. If you can use it, $35.00 picked up. Thanks, Fred.

It's not complete. Where's the shifter arm and collar?

Sorry, I thought it was a steering column. The rusty shifter lever is laying on the work bench. Arm and collar, don't guess I follow you. Thanks, Fred.

[resto newbie]

I found the collar. It's under some black tape.

Any update on the gauge bezel and seat belts?

Thanks!

I am going to have the instrument cluster out Thursday evening and get some good pics for you. The belts are soooooo dirty, remember, this was a well drilling truck. I will get you some pics of them as well, remember, this is not how I keep my personal stuff. Thanks.

Here is a pretty poor pic of the instrument cluster. It had got dark on me and my camera seems to be afraid of the dark. The seat belts are so filthy I am going to have to at least get them out and blow them off with some compressed air. Like I said, it was a well drilling truck. Thanks, Fred.

Fred, no rush at all on the upper engine and carb parts......I know you are on it so whenever you get to it is fine.

I'm interested in the Speedometer.

Is a speedometer head all you are needing? I have one of those already removed if it is. If you are wanting a whole instrument panel, I can fix you up with one of those as well. Have another member asked about this one & the seat belts. Thanks, Fred.

Just the actual Speedometer head / gauge.

My ham-fisted helper was trying to get the needle off and broke the shaft on mine.
