I have a decent one ,I would be willing to donate ,if you need one for a pattern. What NJ town are you in? Do you have a shop where I can pickup the parts you already have available?

I appreciate the help; hold off for now...someone volunteered a good one- let's see if it makes it here. A pretty pristine cowl came in today and is leaving for Taiwan tonight.

Kudos to Mike Duffy for bringing over a nice '67-'68 grille frame! Thanks Mike!

I may have some pictures for you in the morning....no promises...but requested.

WHO'S GOT A SWB Step or Fleetside truck I can buy for a shop truck? I've got a new crate motor and tranny sitting here looking for a home....not worried about missing body parts. HELP!

The shaved panel woould be for aftermarket air trucks and guys not running factory air whether they run aftermarket or not.
Suburban and blazer bedsides are also in demand.The area around the rear doors on Burb's and panels also rusts out.The cab roof I was thinking of is the complete top from driprail back to the seam.Windsheild surrounds for all models where the steel rusts under the seal.A complete floorpan from rocker to rocker would be nice,rather than piecing one together(if it will fit in the truck that way).
One thing about all of the sheetmetal that has been mentioned,IT HAS TO FIT!!!!!Much of the aftermarket stuff is very good like factory it has to be slightly tweaked,but some of it is so bad you would be better off starting from scratch.

71meangreenc10 · 02-27-2007, 08:18 PM

Suburban rear seat holdown brackets, suburban arm rest brackets, no one is making the windshield wiper pivot arms, air vent rods for the inside, rear suburban door window vents,,hmmm suburban fuel filler necks,,,would love to see some grommets for the 3 speed shift levers.

Another vote for LWB bedsides.

Draggn66 · 02-27-2007, 11:10 PM

How about a repop of the Dash Bezels but without the holes for the gauges? That way someone could make the holes needed for the gauges they want to use. Also maybe some shims to go between the hinges and the door for those that need to bring the door back a bit but don't want to remove the door to adjust the inner hinge bolts.

steel glovebox doors are great for this.

Yes but you could retain the same texture with a repop.

russellmarling · 02-28-2007, 12:12 AM

Big block clutch linkage. Particularly the z-bar. No one makes one and I really need one.

I made a thread about this about a week ago, and everyone thought I was stupid. Pretty much for the reason posted right below you...

I have a couple off the top of my head, i dont know if they have been looked at yet.

Cab mount brackets as well as the bed mount brackets.
With all the talk of the shaved cowl panel, i would like to see the cowel itself. They are always rotted out in the corners and bottoms
windsheild frame

Well I for one didn't think you were

Hell that's where I got the idea

Hey here's another idea.....how 'bout a vinyl insert for the ash tray and glove box in black to match the bezel? All I've found is woodgrain and sprayed black vinyl spray on them.

MT1972cheyenne · 02-28-2007, 12:53 AM

72 cheyenne door panel stainless moldings that go around the woodgrain.

ThatOneBlue67 · 02-28-2007, 12:58 AM

I don't know who all has said this, but I could really use a 1967 IGNITION SPACER.

NOT bezel, S-P-A-C-E-R (The ones for 1968-1972 are WRONG for 1967)

Sorry for yelling, but I'm a little tired of reaching under the dash to find my ignition! If you'd like, I completely blue-printed the damn thing on AutoCAD and could send you dimensions, section views, and 3D models of it! Just make me one! (And make it affordable, if you'd be so kind).

truknut · 02-28-2007, 01:33 AM

SWB bed floors, glove box compartments, 67-72 full wheel covers, the factory air box (that changes from floor,vent,defrost),tailgates, anything else that they quit making.

**Bob B.** · 02-28-2007, 05:22 AM

I think a stock cowl would be good. I know they don't rust as bad as some of the other sheetmetal parts, but how many do you see thet have big ugly torn up antenna holes in them? And, if you are looking for small parts to reproduce, how about windshield washer nozzels?

jaros44sr · 02-28-2007, 06:29 AM

I can drop off a inner wheel well this week end if you give me a location. Also need part of inner rear bedside to fix problem area around wheelhouse mounting area. J.

Is that inner bedside around the wheel house a common problem area?

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.

**special-K** · 02-28-2007, 08:49 AM

A kit that contains correct star rivets,custom ordered matching VIN-plate and title.

**special-K** · 02-28-2007, 11:07 AM

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.

irelands18 · 02-28-2007, 01:56 PM

I'm with the guys on LWb bed parts, there are so many trucks out there, and no parts!
