Hardest to find part
Just was wondering what was the hardest part to find for your build? For me it was the rear seat brackets for the Jimmy and 1970 gold armrest that took almost two years to come across.

Re: Hardest to find part
Drip rail moldings have not crossed my path yet, nor has a Lund cab visor. Good thing I don't HAVE TO HAVE THEM.

Pulleys for a short water pump with PS & AC. It took over a month of searching to get the right ones all in one spot.

So far a rust free non ac cab I got one lol,
the tool stowage compartment that goes under the bed they're hard to find complete so I decided to give up on finding one and, the Custom Camper/10 emblems from 1969/1970 I may just get the dimensions and pics of that emblem and have them reproduced if it's legal to do so.

Re: Hardest to find part
Are Burb buckets any different from Blazer and truck buckets?
Or are you talking utility buckets?

Re: Hardest to find part
NICE find. In my case it's in my signature. I sorta don't get it, perhaps bad luck. Other than that, I can make a place for it should a mint cargo lamp kit come my way soon.

Re: Hardest to find part
Just a simple stock 12 bolt diff cover. An awesome member here hooked me up with one and sandblasted it for me. Nice saying goodbye to the rusty chrome on.
