Re: What parts aren't out there?

I want a rear cab seam filler panel. you know where the rear cab seam is, just a flat panel to weld in there to get rid of that seam.
its good to see vendors asking what we want.

Re: What parts aren't out there?

I haven't looked yet to see if it's out there, but what about the carpet trim strip on the step-up on a Blazer/Jimmy floor? Maybe a lower B pilar patch for the same?

Re: What parts aren't out there?

Bet you didn't think you were going to get this many requests...

Here's mine. It's a simple and easy one to manufacture. Don't know if it has been mentioned already.

Re: What parts aren't out there?

For those of you that feel your "Chains" are being yanked. I don't always see these posts....there's enough posting in this section that if I don't see it within hours of it being posted it's already a couple pages back. A lot of members use PM's to ask questions; it's fairly effective. I know I posted some time ago that, while working on the cowl, we were made aware of another manufacturer tooling it (it's listed in Brother's '07 catalog). We stopped working on it because there's simply not enough market for the part to have two competing tools.

I don't post updates on parts when there's nothing to report

Re: What parts aren't out there?

Here are 2 pieces that need to be made to save a lot ocabs from the crushers. Outter front cab roof to match the inner repop that you have for the inner roof. The second piece would bee the front windshield frame upper a pilar. These 2 pieces rust out the on cabs and make a cab all most unrebuild able.

Re: What parts aren't out there?

I've asked the same exact question at least 5 times in the past 6 months (1 of them being only a few days ago) and have NEVER gotten an answer.

I think we have officially had our "chains yanked"

Re: What parts aren't out there?

I didn't see this anywhere....

How about a rear bumper (I was thinking of the sport bumper) with a pull-down tag holder for fuel filler access, like a 70 Camaro or Nova?

I saw this in someone's build thread on here (I think his was a step bumper) and became imediatly infatuated with the idea.

Re: What parts aren't out there?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I would like to see the bucket seat mounting points for sale.

What I mean is the original pieces that went under the cab that the seats bolted to. I think this might provide more support than the sheetmetal floorboard so that those of us that have actually located 69-72 style buckets can bolt them into the truck.

Possibly with capture nuts welded on.

Re: What parts aren't out there?

JVictor actually brings something to mind that I'd like to see:

I would like to see someone remanufacturing the nut strips that hold a high-hump into place. Nobody manufactures these right now.

It would also be nice to have a lower core support patch for the area that the inner fender bolts to (the part that always rusts out under the battery tray) BUT I would only want to buy this patch piece if it had a near-OEM square nut welded onto it for mounting the inner fender. It sucks that you can't really find square nuts to replace the stock ones at any hardware store, so if you weld in a patch in this area, you're left with drilling and using a regular nut in its place.

Shifty, funny you mention this... I was working on my rad. support today and the part that rusts out is easily doable, you could make a rt and a lft. Easy to install as well, come on Jon, give us your thoughts. You'd make a killing on this part.... J.

The thing on the support is that we already have them out there; and they're really not that expensive. Labor wise I don't know how much patching it would take to cover the cost of replacement.

I may have to find another manufacturer. This is a NEW e-mail from last night. Mind you this is ALL after having a signed agreement in place and a PO to proceded as originally agreed:

Hi Jon,
After many discussion with manufacture in China for glove compartment.
Here is the final, I know you don't like it but due to the raw material and
foreign exchange rate are different they are asking for:

first 2000 pcs/each model $XX.XX/pc after that will be $XX.XX per pc

Basically, factory would like to have his investment back in 2000 pcs in 2 orders.


This 2000 pcs. ea is up from an agreed quantity of 800ea. which they already asked me to up 25% (to 1000ea.)....which I agreed to over a month ago.
