Original 350 - seems to run fine, but supposedly has a head gasket problem or something. I guess it got hot once, and that's what they thought it was. I drove it for awhile. No water in oil or oil in water, but did notice it would warm up pretty good if just sitting there idling. But then again, could be a clutch fan, too. Either way, should probably be pulled apart just to be sure before going into something else.

How much is the front clip and doors worth. I have an 83 C20 that has a low mph thump. Also doors could be replaced....rust at bottom......S/S

[jberkeley]

sent email regarding fire wall section.....thanks jberkeley

[mckpaul]

How much for the instrument cluster?

[Old Chevy Lover]

Street Sled - Are you just talking about the front clip as in the sheetmetal? Or are you talking about suspension and all?

BeaterC10 - I should know in a couple of days about the brackets.

Mckpaul - I will take $40 for the cluster. I have already sold the knob that goes on the clock stem, and also the orange gear indicator and spring.

[Street Sled]

Both fenders, hood, chrome bumper, maybe grill, splash pan between grill and bumper. 2 good doors if you have them. Don't need any suspension. I'm near Portsmouth..... Thanks.....S/S

If you wanted to come look at everything, I'm probably within 40 miles or so from you. I'm around Richmond Dale(if you're familiar with the area any). If you want, shoot me an email at commagic@bright.net.

[mckpaul]

Oh well, the clock and shift indicator were two of the main things I needed. I'll have to pass. Thanks anyway.

[Old Chevy Lover]

Sorry about that. I am awaiting payment on both items. If something happens they fall through, I will definitely let you know.

[Old Chevy Lover]

I'm back from a little holiday weekend trip, and ready to get rid of some parts off of this thing. Who needs what?

[BigBlockBurris]

Is it a tilit column?
Is it tight?

How much? I don't need the wheel.

Thanks

I have an 83 C-20 that I would like to rebuild for show. Am interested in front clip, good power doors, what not. I'm familiar with your area and it is approx. a 2 hour drive. Shoot me a few prices and lets see what happens? Thanks....S/S

[Old Chevy Lover]

BBB - Sorry, but it isn't a tilt column. It is pretty tight though if still interested.

Street Sled - I just posted some close up pictures of the front end on the site. http://www.bright.net/~commagic/forsale.htm just click on 'front end' to see them. From what I know, this thing had new sheetmetal put on it back in the 90's due to a front end collision. The metal was primed, but never painted, so it did end up with surface rust on it. I sanded it down last year, and used some spray can primer on it, but the rust is starting to show again in a couple spots. It would just need sanded down to the bare metal again, and then sealed with that primer/sealer that they have out now(at least that's what I've been told). You can tell by the pics that the drivers side fender is knocked out a little at the top for some reason. I had it out in a field one night, and must have knocked something loose somewhere (haven't taken it apart yet to figure out what it is). It has no dents in it, and the passender side has one dent (about the size of a silver dollar (you can see it in the 5th and 6th pictures, up at the top about 3 inches back from the front). The bumper is in good shape, and could be polished up and be nice. Again, it is slightly tweaked on the drivers side, but I think it is the brackets, and not the bumper itself. Check out the pic's, and shoot me an email and we will talk about it. commagic@bright.net

'Front end' pics not showing up yet......S/S

[Old Chevy Lover]

they seem to be showing up for me. depending on your connection, you might want to give it a couple seconds to start coming up. I put 13 pictures on there.

[Old Chevy Lover]

BeaterC10 - I talked to the guy today and he is definitely not going to need them, but he just hasnt had time to pull them off yet and get them back to me. If you definitely want them and the floor mounts cut out, they are yours as soon as they are in my hands.

S/S - I would take $250 for the hood, fenders, inner fenders, grill, bumper, and bumper brackets if you wanted to come look at everything and was interested. I have only 3 of the trim rings, and would throw those in for the $250 if you wanted them.

Jberkeley - I think I got an email from you, and thought I had replied. I'm sorry if I didn't. Are you talking about basically the whole passengers side of the firewall, or just a certain portion?

[beaterC10]

I will take them. I would guess shipping should be under $20 to 46229. How do you want payment? Is a M/O ok?

[Old Chevy Lover]

M/O is fine with me. shoot me an email to commagic@bright.net and I will reply with my address that you can send it to.

[jberkeley]

ocl, i'm adding a/c to a non a/c truck.. i just need the section that has the cut outs..to use as a template..if this is possible let me know..thanks j berkeley

[Old Chevy Lover]

jberkeley - I'm still wondering how soon I would be able to get to the point to where I could cut out part of the firewall. Are these all the same from 73-87 do you know? I know where there is a 77 or 78 pickup that had AC that we might be able to do this too that already has the engine out and so forth.

[jberkeley]

ocl, i'm in no rush..won't be able to do install untill next spring..i think all cabs were the same from 73-87...thanks for the reply...let me know thanks j berkeley

[Old Chevy Lover]

in that case, I'm sure that I will be able to fix you up before then. I will keep you informed. Thanks

[88Jimmy4x4]

I need some outer windshield felt rubber pieces, the ones that attach to the doors for all 4.....also.....I need the "L" shaped clips that hold the trim on the back side glass rubber (if yours arent all rusted)

lemme know

JB

[Old Chevy Lover]

I checked the rubber pieces, and they arent the greatest. They are all still there, but the sun has made them pretty hard. I'm not sure which L clips you are talking about. Can you give me a little more info?
