Re: What parts aren't out there?
The vents in the cowl cover are the inlet for the vents in the kick panels.I like to enjoy the air when it`s too warm for heat and too nice for a/c.I would never want to eliminate that option,personally.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
It`s funny,no repro longbed slabs available.Many longbeds have beat sides if not in the rust-belt.But no matter where you are.A good 8`bedside doesn`t bring much payola.you`d think they`d be worth $350-500@,but I see them go for $50-100 when for sale.Or even tossed as valueless...Go figure.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
All the trucks I've seen seem to have the same problem, wouldn't take much, just about 1 foot by 3 feet. Mostly flat with a radius bend to match the outside eyebrow arch. Small enuff that it woudn't get damaged in shipping, heck I 'll come pick it up, do you need a distributor in Pa. J.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
My vote for the passenger inner fender patch panel for $10-$15 and the passenger side core suppport lower tray patch panel for the same. You could sell about 1000 of these for every bed side because just about all trucks need them and you already have the tooling...ROI off the charts...LOL!

Re: What parts aren't out there?
Tri-pro, very good answer and most of the parts mentioned should sell. Looks like you got a handle on this stuff. Feedback on this board is excellant and some very good guys and gals. I'm sure most would support your efforts in gettin' some of these parts produced. Good luck!!!

Re: What parts aren't out there?
Longbed sides,
all the cab parts mentioned, dash board. A complete q-jet air cleaner housing with no PCV hole or Thermac on the snorkle (would be easy to add though for those that need it and you could also sell a ton of these to the Impala/Nova/Chevelle guys). A 67-68 grill. I've seen a 69-72 firewall being made, but what about the 67-68? Auto trans. housing, dial and pointer for non-tilt 67-70's, and the fiber optic cable. 67-68 steering wheels in colors other than black. A good bushing kit for the manual and auto column shift linkages.

Re: What parts aren't out there?
also the armrests for a 67 in something other than black because i have a white interior and had to go with a 66 armrest because that is the only one i like that came in white.(i would prefer having a 67 but 66 look really good too)

I think the 67-68 hoods built to fit 69-72 front clip would be a good one!!!!!!!!!
