Are these still avalible? I am looking for a couple sets.

Thanks,
Ray

Andy4639 · 03-28-2009, 08:52 AM

Are you speaking of the drivers & passenger side window vents. I have one set.

**72 Super** · 03-28-2009, 09:04 AM

I am referring to the piece that goes across the top of the door and is held on with clips that go behind the window channel. I'll see if I can find a picture.

**72 Super** · 03-28-2009, 09:10 AM

Here is a good picture

Thanks,
Ray

When I had the roof of my C10 painted I let em throw out the set that was on it. They looked perfect...I didn't even think about saving em.

Sorry

Andy4639 · 03-28-2009, 10:48 AM

I have a set of those I'll get you a picture of them. I don't think I have the clips I thought they just went up inside the channel.

**leddzepp** · 03-28-2009, 11:13 AM

They need the clips to hold them in place. These pop up on ebay now and again.

Andy4639 · 03-28-2009, 08:12 PM

I have these and I didn't have the clips that I can remember but I took them off a long time ago though so they may have had them at some point but who knows where they are now. I'll take $25.00 + shipping if your interested in them.

**fine69** · 03-28-2009, 08:17 PM

Pretty sure you can still buy them from vendors.

Ray, My catalog is 5 year old but LMC list Ventshade set-stainless No.38-0290 list $37.44 Sell $29.95 . Also Your local truck shop or auto parts store might have them. Good luck Ken.

**72 Super** · 03-29-2009, 09:30 AM

Andy, thanks for the offer,but I really want some new ones. I have an old set here that have atleast 1 or 2 broken clips. Thanks.

Ken(CheySuper8) I will check and see if anyone still selling them. I wasn't sure if this type was still being made.

Thanks,
Ray

GMC AMI · 03-29-2009, 10:20 AM

I have a brand new pair from a GM dealer that closed down in the box. If you have any interesting trades PM me. I was going to use on my nice 68, depending on trade or 60 dollars cash.

pickupman · 03-29-2009, 11:46 AM

Ray, not available NOS any longer but are available aftermarket now

**72ironmike** · 03-29-2009, 11:55 AM

Is there any difference in the aftermarket? Are they made by the same supplier to GM back in the day?

**special-K** · 03-29-2009, 12:00 PM

Yup,Ventshade always made them.I`m not sure if the make the ones now or not,but they are identicle.

They are identical. Only difference is the box they came in. Ventshades are ventshades...some came in a GM box, some came in a ventshade box.

**72 Super** · 03-29-2009, 12:37 PM

Truthly I never knew GM sold them, I thought everyone got them from Venstshade as being a aftermarket item back in the day. Learned something today

GMC AMI, I will pm you

Bill(Pickupman) do you carry these? are you referring to Ventshade as aftermarket versus GM?

Thanks,
Ray

**72ironmike** · 03-29-2009, 12:49 PM

Ray, I do not know if GM sold them as an option but in 84 I purchased some thru a Chevy dealer. I have only seen the "Ventshade" brand in 28 years of having the disease for theses trucks. Mike.

**72 Super** · 04-04-2009, 09:39 AM

Are the Ventshade brand still being produced for our trucks?

**GSFMECH** · 04-04-2009, 12:10 PM

www.Ventshade.com shows they still make them, part number 12058. They have a dealer lookup on the website as well.

**72 Super** · 04-04-2009, 08:23 PM

Thanks GSFMECH, I found them. I looked for their website before and couldn't find it. Looks like they are around $40 on the average.
