Old School hotrod parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChrisDollins · 02-11-2016, 11:42 AM

Would like to see some cool parts everyone has or have seen. I like to browse ebay looking for parts that are from around the 60's. Of course the mooneyes or superior flaked steering wheels and chrome hurst stick with white cue ball knob. I found a set of Thrush exhaust tips that would be cool conversation pieces. Just wanted to start a thread full of old cool parts.

I do the same thing with old decals. I have a bunch and have done a lot of artwork to reproduce many of them. I have a friend who collects and restores old racecars and he is always needing something.

Vintage Offy 6cyl valve cover I have. If it had a place for the pcv valve it would be on my 66 already. Joseph

a machine shop could easily do it. make it appear similar to the oil cap opening, but on the opposing side from the name plate.

I went with my brother to pick up a stove from a guy and he had a pair of these on a shelf, I asked if they were for sale and he said "no they are for my car" and jerked his thumb over his shoulder to a SHELBY GT500KR (!) that I had missed on a 4 post lift in the corner of his dark shop. sheesh some guys haha

sanford66: Oh definitely, anything Offy is cool! I would think a port could be made into the backside that might not be that visible.

canadian_diesel1964: I love those Edelbrock vc's. I've never seen any like that before. Pretty sweet!

joedoh: Oh man, that is cool. I just recently seen the tips, got me to thinking about what else is out there like that.

This is what I did for my buddy's 292 build up. I milled the port for a PVC grommet and then used a counter bore bit through the fins. I hand rounded the fins.

that looks factory , it turned out nice , how does it run with the 4 barrel is that a 450 or 600 cfm

vin63 · 02-13-2016, 09:51 PM

The 292ci runs great for him. 194 cylinder heads, Offy 4 bbl intake with a Holley 390 CFM carburetor. It's backed with my 700R4, so it spends most of its operating RPM time at peak torque.

That is a Sweet 6 banger. I'm subscribed to him on Youtube. Can you tell him to put some more videos up on this thing? lol

He's in the process of moving soon, and actually has a lot of cool old school parts for sale. That's my white '63 Chevy II and funny car on his channel.

ChrisDollins · 02-21-2016, 11:29 AM

What about gas caps? I found the first one here on the forums somewhere, and the other on an eBay truck.
