Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

Hi guys. I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find this small part for the hood cowl. It’s the rubber clip that attaches the cowl to the cab. Anyone know where I can find this or have a few extras they can sell me.
Here is the picture for reference. It’s for my 83 c10

Thanks Paul

I was just out in the pic n pull yards Saturday. I knew there was something I needed to try and get. These things are hard to find. And I told myself the next time I was in the yards I would try and get some. Dang it! And there where 4 trucks, a lot was picked over, but I’m sure I could have gotten some.

I've been looking as well.

Thanks guys. If someone is able to find a full set for me and willing to ship to Europe. I’ll pay for the labor as well.

Thanks

Thanks, I will contact them. But it has said arriving soon for around 8 months now. Im not sure what their idea of soon is. But I will give them a call tomorrow and see whats up.

Thanks!

They said that part is no longer available. So back to the search.

Well crap. I wish places that that would take them off their website if it’s no longer available.

Just to follow up on this thread. I figured out a good solution. I bought some 4mm self tapping screws. I cut the screws to the length I needed and screwed the cowl pin to the cowl. It worked perfect and is very secure. You will also need to trim the "arrow" looking piece at the top of the pin since you now have the self tapper coming from the bottom up.

Another benefit to using the self tappers is you can leave them a little loose, then you can adjust the placement of the pin while it is on the truck, then you can fine tune the place of the cowl.

:metal:good idea!

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

related question, are these what is used to attach to the "firewall" area of the truck or just at the windshield area? I am looking for what is used to attach the cowl panel to the firewall area?

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

This is what attaches the cowl to the windshield area.

The cowl is attached to the firewall area just with screws. Or what exactly are you referring to? Attach a picture please.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

So my body guy who abandoned the job mid way through apparently removed and lost these pins from my cowl. I ended up finding a mint used one that still has them. Is there anything supposed to be in the holes in the cab where these push into, or do these just push straight into the cab holes?

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

they just push right into those holes. They are basically alignment pins for the cowl.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

Great thanks.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

44boggers, that is what I was looking for too, do you by chance know what kind of screws (type, size, length??) are used to attach the cowl to the firewall? mine were missing when bought the truck - luckily I have all the pins as mentioned above. hoping to not have to by expensive screws from LMC if can be helped..

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

I will measure them for you and send a picture. But they are not anything special.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

44 boggers, that would be VERY appreciated!:metal: I am hoping that the screws could be found at likes of ACE or similar box store...

thank you again!;)

Here you go, they are basically self tapping screws.

All good buddy, glad I can be of some use. I mean, this is really why these forums were created.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

I know this is an old thread, but for anyone that’s still looking. I have a buddy that parts trucks and literally saves every usable part.

I actually bought a cowl vent I didn't need from a guy last year just cause I needed those pins and couldn't find them anywhere else.

Re: Hood cowl rubber attachment pin
 

I guess I got lucky. They are all still attached and in good shape on my 84 Sierra 2500.
