I appreciate the help; hold off for now...someone volunteered a good one- let's see if it makes it here. A pretty pristine cowl came in today and is leaving for Taiwan tonight.

Kudos to Mike Duffy for bringing over a nice '67-'68 grille frame! Thanks Mike!

I may have some pictures for you in the morning....no promises...but requested.

WHO'S GOT A SWB Step or Fleetside truck I can buy for a shop truck? I've got a new crate motor and tranny sitting here looking for a home....not worried about missing body parts. HELP!

Nice! I was thinking 67-68 builder for about 3K

ERASER5 · 03-05-2007, 06:07 PM

A Tach/Vac tin for the dash so I can install a second factory looking temp gauge for the tranny. I do not believe anyone is making this part.

A volt meter that looks just like the factory amp meter. Yea, I know, this is not a stamped part, but I want one.

chops333 · 03-05-2007, 08:29 PM

im pretty sure no one makes stepside rear bumper brackets i need some also a front bumper bracket that doesnt have to be modified for power sterring swap

Which bracket set exactly? It might be the Budweiser talking but I thought there's two sets....can't remember what the difference is but I'll look.

fourty1 · 03-05-2007, 09:47 PM

I think somebody oughta step up and fab some stainless steel ones. Plain, brushed, polished, done right they would last forever, no rust, no rivets to loosed...
I glass beaded my stockers, and rebuilt them. Worked good for about a month...a few lingering glass beads killed the metal to metal joints! Search continues,....

the 67-72 stepside rear brackets are different from the67-72 fleetside rear brackets fleetside brackets are made and are readily available but not for stepsides

jb4short · 03-06-2007, 07:54 PM

If someone has a decent set of stepside rear bumper brackets let me know what you need out of them (maybe swap for a part?) and I'll see if we can't get those done...seems like a "No-Brainer"

jaros44sr · 03-06-2007, 08:34 PM

Hey TriPro, please ask them to stamp the steel in a heavier gauge steel, that way when it rusts, it will take longer...
Just a thought..

Everything we make is 19ga. or better...I've been in the aftermarket parts industry for over thirteen years and know what you mean...but I don't think it applies to our products.

If you know of parts that you can't find a decent replacement for let me know and maybe we can work on an improved version.

Now that right there is a great idea IMO

Thanks for the answer, and your time. Are you allowed to make repo parts exactly the same as original parts? I had heard they have tobe slightly differant... J.

That's a pretty common misconception. The goal is to always make it exactly as the original unless it's intended to be a "Performance" part. On some of the gates and other parts we do pay licensing fees to GM to use trademarked logos and designs; this is how we can put "Chevrolet", "GMC", etc. on the parts. GM doesn't always accept the application for licensing (like on the '69-'70 grille frame) but this is normally due to them still offering the part themselves.

**Hart_Rod** · 03-07-2007, 08:52 AM

How about the 3rd door for the Suburbans? While your at it, you can go ahead and make the 4th door too.

meathead95 · 03-07-2007, 09:18 AM

how about the gravel shields for a 1972 blazer

that there is a fine idea. i think mine is just a piece of 1x4, but it should be corrected.

a 4th sub door would also rock! (i don't have a 'burb, but if i did, i'd want one.)

sevt_chevelle · 03-07-2007, 10:13 AM

TriPro,
I had already voted for the LWB boxsides, hint hint, but can you tell us what parts from this list of suggestions that you are probably gonna do?
Thanks...Eric

I'll post pictures of some pieces next week. We do have some recent introductions ('67-'68 and '69-'72 dash and toe panels); and when I find out where I should post them I will.

seanu · 03-07-2007, 11:27 AM

Ok...here's my thoughts.

It seems like about half of the cab is being repoduced now, this maybe from various vendors..(not sure on that one)..but it doesn't seem like it would be far from the range of work to produce a complete cab shell? Does it?

Here's what I know if being reproduced now for the cab:

Complete floor
Inner Rockers
Outer Rocker
Rear Corners
Front Corners
Drip Rail
Inside front roof edge
Floor/Firewall section

Why not take the extra steps and do a complete cab? Think about it...all the patch work time/money that could be saved!!

Other thoughts are:

Bed floors (both LWB & SWB)
Cowl panel (both stock & smoothed)
Complete a/c dash
Windshield patch sections (if not going to do whole cab)
Some kind of better replacement hood hinges (maybe billet? but that would bolt on as stock)

That's about all I can think of at this time....

Now, lets see some photos of those prototypes!

John @ BROTHERS · 03-07-2007, 11:58 AM

Ok guys. We have at least one of the items your seem to be looking for. We have the "core support" patch. This will replace the rusted or corroted section of the core support right below the battery box. Here is a link to the part on our website.

Be sure to also check out our "New Items" page for the newest parts available.

**PICKMUP** · 03-07-2007, 12:46 PM

Way to go, Brothers...that's good service! Now can you hurry up and get the other items we need that fast, too? LOL

I'll second the request for better inner rocker repair that has about 4" of outer floor included. We get calls for that continuously.
