Re: What parts aren't out there?
How about a patch for the floor area under the passenger side seat in the blazer?
And how about a full side skin for a blazer. Brothers sells the front & rear halves, but it would be nice to get a one piece. Enough welding on a one piece let alone 2 halves. ![]()

Re: What parts aren't out there?
How about forword rear spring hangers for people who want to convert from coil to leaf springs. I have found several shackle flips for the rear but no one repops the forword rear spring hanger. I know some trucks have rust or bent spring hangers.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
I shot pictures of the prototypes over a year ago....every time we get an update the date comes and goes. We DID just get our own '67-'72 stepside bedsides in stock with the stake pockets and angle strips installed. They also come with a set of stainless hole caps.

Sell a gas tank relocation kit that actually has EVERYTHING you need. Door, filler neck, hoses, grommets, etc.?

Re: What parts aren't out there?
Ok Tri-ProAutomotive ...I just read the post on a previous page about the glove box liner...duh? I should have read before posting. At least you gave it a good try. I appreciate you asking for the needs of these trucks. Very good marketing approach.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
Are tailgate patch panels made anymore? I know I bought a patch for the lower inside of a gate several years ago and now they don't seem to be available. I've seen a lot of good gates with pinholes across the inside bottom of em that a patch would save.
This might have already been mentioned somewhere in this thread....But I didn't read through 14 pages of it. ![]() |

It would be great if someone would reproduce the dog dish hub caps and power steering brackets for an Inline 6.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
I _love_ the idea of stainless, but it cracks more easily when you try to stamp it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Lore...12#Hood_styles That said, I'd take just about anything stainless you can make!

Re: What parts aren't out there?
I see there is an intrest in stainless steel floors and such. But to me it would be nice if they would be made out of aluminium, especially floors in the cab or even the whole cab. I know that welding would be out for the conection of steel to aluminum but it could just be bonded with the new epoxys and rivited. Just a thought I have always had. Defiinently would love to see aluminu rocker panels. I dont weld any rocker panel in just glue and rivits. As I know eventualy I will have to replace them.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
I have to agree with Hair. They need to make the floor panel for the rear corners of the cabs. My current project needs them and all my parts trucks have that area rusted out as well. Obviously a rust prone part of the cab. I am sure many others would need it as well. Also the most important thing that needs to be made is HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT SHEETMETAL AND PATCH PANELS JUST LIKE FROM THE FACTORY. I am pretty much done with repro sheetmetal except for small pieces. It doesnt fit or look anything like the original piece. They are usually flimsy and too thin. The lines are no where near as crisp as factory lines. The repro parts are currently on the market but the quality is definately not. I would have no problem paying twice as much for repro sheetmetal if it was exact same quality as original. For now I only buy and use parts taken off of donor vehicles, and only if I cant get the original part do I buy a repro part.
