Re: Finding parts
How many decades old is that catalog. They don't use those numbers anymore.
Several searches for Empire billet aluminum don't bring up anything and that makes me believe that they have gone out of business as a lot of the billet aluminum outfits have since that fad has died down.

Re: Finding parts
I spent an hour or more last night searching the net for similar parts. None on Ebay, none showing up on Google unless I put in the wrong words in my search.
Basiclly in gentle terms, that stuff is pretty well Passe as most guys have gotten away from loading their trucks down with gaudy billet trinkets. That was big time 90's and early 2K stuff. That now 5 year old catalog may be the last time it was offered by classic parts as sales had dropped or the maker had gone out of business. A search for empire billet aluminum brings up carpenters levels.

Re: Finding parts
Checing some more Premier street rods doesn't show anything for 55/59 https://www.premierstreetrod.com/dep...+Moldings.html
I went page by page through Tucker's 55/59 Catalog and no aluminum panels like that. https://tuckersparts.com/collections...5=448645267746 Nothing in American Classic parts https://americanclassic.com/chevy-gm...59-truck-parts

Re: Finding parts
I searched it pretty good before I posted this.
I figured you guy's would know if there was anything out there. |
