What parts aren't out there? - Page 13 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

any update on LWB bedside for us?? Brothers told me april back before christmas, just wondering how close we might be...

theoneandonly · 04-10-2008, 09:56 AM

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.

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.

So far I've had a number of requests for the '67-'72 auxillary battery tray and a couple for the '67-'68 grille. Anything else?

All of the other folks on this thread have excellent ideas.

I just like the fact that you are asking "what needs to be made?"

My kudos to you, for that!

Hoods for '69-'72 that are sloped in the front like '67-'68 hoods...

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

not going to happen for now

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.

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.

I don't know but I've been told No one makes repro 1972 C-10 ONLY BIGBLOCK MOTOR MOUNT TOWERS, THE YEAR IS KEY-->(1972 1972 1972 1972) these are very hard to come by even used! Im sure I wouldn't and haven't ben the only person that was in need of sum. I shoulda Stuck with 71. but anyway jus thoght I'd throw that out in the open and sorry If any one has mentioned this already......

I _love_ the idea of stainless, but it cracks more easily when you try to stamp it...

That said, I'd take just about anything stainless you can make!

I'm not convinced of that. My dad worked metals and he always said that there were different stainless steel types out there, and plenty that wouldnt crack when stamped, look at all the stainless steel mixing bowls out there, and stainless steel kitchen supplies. My exhaust is made of stainless and no cracks. I really wish they would make stainless steel parts it would pay in the long run (for us at least!)

New '72 Super Cheyenne complete truck at '72 prices.

Aarons72s · 04-23-2008, 08:09 PM

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.

Sinister · 04-23-2008, 09:26 PM

When are the LWB bedsides going to be available?

Barben · 04-24-2008, 07:12 AM

Rear fuel tank that fits a k10 complete with correct straps, hooks, inlet, hoses, venting, including a wled-it-yourself filler door and in-bed cover for the filler stuff.

1956cameo · 04-24-2008, 11:47 AM

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.

Gravel · 04-27-2008, 01:01 AM

Yup, I am holding out for the LWB bedsides too..

67mater · 08-08-2008, 09:38 AM

**steelhorse** · 08-08-2008, 10:24 AM
