Hard too find or rare parts for 73-87? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How about a 73 only EGR block off plate?
And the ever popular working windshield washer motor for pre '85.

Its for sale by a forum member here, along with a ton of other NOS parts.

Rare indeed.

I got lucky, found another at a junkyard last week, driver quality, will be posting it for sale here soon.

are the chrome 4-speed shifters sought after for a 73-80? I snagged one last week and thought about putting it in the 79, but need a chrome 205 shifter too match. lol

I have a 73/74 GMC grill uncracked, and has all the bars. Are they really that hard to find?

The small tail gate bands for the 73-80 trucks are pretty uncommon.

Ugh...now I'll have to go take a second look at everything here at work (junk yard) to make sure I haven't missed anything. I've been looking for the Dome/Cargo, I knew about the hand throttle, but forgot to keep my eyes open for it. We just got an odd one the other day '78 K20 'burban, 350/SM-465/NP-205 in it. Originally a 305, still has the glovebox sticker. It was a Gov't special order, the last RPO had something listed about it.

The bowties for 1980 grille's are tough to find and aftermarket ones are twice the price of other years.

Anybody have a line on the rubber inserts and upper brackets for an '85 BB radiator??? I've found them for the small radiator but not the big one...
