Re: What parts need reproduced the most

A correct version of the OEM Rockwell T-221 shifter boot.
Aqua green '68 arm rests.
Aqua green correct OEM "Custom" seat covers for the Suburban bench seats.
Suburban OEM style headliner boards, and plastic retainer strips.
67/68 OEM correct side trim clips

Obviously the demand for my wish list items are low, so the chance of my wish list getting repro'd is really low.

Re: What parts need reproduced the most

I'd like to see the top and bottom of the tailgates reproduced instead of having to replace the whole tailgate. Maybe the complete cab top in one piece and made to fit exactly. Lots of trucks rusted out on top of the windshield area.

Tow hooks, of course then that detracts from the cool factor.

Re: What parts need reproduced the most

1960-63 and 1964-69 GMC V6 hood emblems. Also another thing would be the brake pedal pad that says "Power Brakes", i think they were available on 63-72 trucks.

I got my steering wheel from somewhere else and it is a flimsy POS. Doesn't feel like it has a steel core inside. I can't speak for LMC but I've seen alot of negative comments here (and never a positive one) about all the aftermarket ones.

Dying for original tow hooks (but not bad enough to pay $400)

oh - and the NP 205 stickers that go on the visor or glove box door. I really want one of them and can't find them anywhere.

Re: What parts need reproduced the most

Now you guys know it's a lot funnier trying to find these rare parts than just flipping open a parts book and ordering!!! The thrill of the hunt makes it all worth the while!!!

Suburban headliner....exact factory-look reproduction that reuses the factory bows and correct seat upholstery for custom deluxe trucks (SMS carries the cloth by the way). Cheyenne has vastly different scroll work.

Re: What parts need reproduced the most

should work, but not an exact reproduction. they use their own support system i think. i inquired awhile back and they sent me some pics but i guess i didn't save the email since i decided to pass. if you just want a headliner go for it, but if you want to reuse your nice chrome bows and have that factory look.....you are @$%& out of luck like me, unless you find good originals that someone is willing to part with!

I actually ordered one of these in tan.
Laid it out on the floor, and right there decided nope..

Still got it, and will never use it.

Re: What parts need reproduced the most

A steering wheel that appears stock but slightly smaller in diameter. Especially for power steering equipped trucks. Also a patch panel for core support under battery or maybe someone already has that covered.
