72dually · 05-05-2004, 11:03 PM

Please enlighten me on which parts are hard to find for these 67-72 chevy trucks
I frequent the bone yards out here in So Cal, but Ive never really looked for anything other than 65-72 musclecar parts

teeitup · 05-05-2004, 11:16 PM

tachs, tow hooks, tilts, speed warning dash, AM-FM's, shoulder seat belts, buckets, 8 track player, thats a few things.

8door · 05-05-2004, 11:32 PM

what is a speed warning dash?

People are always looking for "original" shift linkage for the AT for these trucks. I had to repair the linkage on mine because no-one had seen these parts for a long time. The trans has an 'I' and the other linkage is an 'H'. I'm sure someone will post pictures.

How about drums for the front of a 1970 3/4 ton 4wd truck!

72gord · 05-06-2004, 08:03 AM

Hey, 8door are you looking for 2 or 4wd driveshaft? I have a complete one out of a 68 3/4 ton 4wd lwb with the carrier bearing.

grayw0lf · 05-06-2004, 09:51 AM

You might want to add Power Brake Push Rod. (The one that goes from the brake pedal to the booster rod.

billsbowtie · 05-06-2004, 11:31 AM

drivers side doors rear sport bumper brackets are hard to find around here

Burnsman · 05-06-2004, 11:45 AM

Are the drums different from 69 to 70 (3/4 4x4)? I have a set for a 69.

**raggedjim** · 05-06-2004, 12:44 PM

If you see any 70-72 Blazers, the plastic caps on the tops of the doors are fetching high $, the strip that seals the hatch at the top of the tailgate, good rocker boxes, unrusted windshield frames... rear hatch hardware, thats, all I can think of now

**John Fabris** · 05-06-2004, 01:56 PM

Here is a list off the top of my head of things to pull from a 67-72 truck that you will have no problems selling (as long you don't change an arm and a leg)

Chrome Vent windows, even better if they are factory tinted.
Any body or window trim IN PERFECT SHAPE.
Perfect 67 style front fender and rear step side fenders
Ebrake Cover (67-68)
Tach dash
Speed warning dash
stock AM/FM radio
Lighter or radio delete
Tow hooks
Shoulder belts
Complete seatbelt sets (better if near perfect)
(67-68) Custom Camper emblems in perfect shape
Perfect 67-68 door panels (not metal ones)
Perfect Sun Visors
Bucket seats
Any perfect grills whole or parts
Short Fleet bed sides
any of the original hub caps if perfect
perfect steering wheels
heater or AC controls if all levers are not broken

There are lots of other things as well, but this is what I look for when I see a new truck in the yard. Most of these things will sell on ebay pretty quickly!!

8door · 05-06-2004, 06:03 PM

72gord My drive shaft need is for a 68 longbed 2 wd I don't know if 4x is the same? I will install a new bearing when I find a shft replacement. What do want for yours shipped to 92504?

**Ironhorse** · 05-06-2004, 07:35 PM

8door, I have a two piece drive shaft from a 68 1/2T GMC 2wd LWB. PM if interested. $30 plus shipping.

72dually · 05-06-2004, 10:33 PM

Great guys, I will be looking for these items, I know of a couple yards that very few people know about
As far as prices, I personally rather trade for musclecar parts, but if you have nothing to trade, no problem, Im not greedy, I'll ask the group whats fair

Some of this stuff I know I'll find, Ive noticed several items listed just in passing by the trucks
Seems like alot of 67-8 stuff on the list

teeitup · 05-06-2004, 10:45 PM

I'd be interesteed in a speed warning, they are usually in 67-68's. They are in the dash bezel, speedo has a white line on it to set, and a buzzer in dash bezel too, you need to get wiring harness for the speed warning too, if you get it.

72dually · 05-06-2004, 10:58 PM

I got you, I had a brain fart, when I asked about the buzzers in the doors, (had to edit last post) although was the door buzzer option available for trucks? Im very familiar w/speed warning dashes, both my buicks have them.
Ive seen delete bezels before, is this option worth taking, I actually have some for some select cars, like mopars, buicks

I see blazers from time to time, please show pictures of these items

(the plastic caps on the tops of the doors are fetching high $, the strip that seals the hatch at the top of the tailgate, good rocker boxes, unrusted windshield frames... rear hatch hardware)

72dually · 05-06-2004, 11:24 PM

BTW, I see alot of posi's in trucks and vans, are the vans the same?
(12 bolts)

I do take the blazer 10 bolt posi units and gears if 3.42 , as the buick guys like those gears

67ChevyC10Stepside · 05-06-2004, 11:59 PM

373 and 410 posis fetch nice money

72gord · 05-07-2004, 08:19 AM

8Door...my 4x4 lwb driveshaft would be too short for a 2wd, because of the transfer case and transmission compared to just the trans in a 2wd...I'll keeep my eyes open for one though.

9footfan · 05-08-2004, 01:21 AM

i'm always looking for 67-72 chevy/gmc c-30 9ft stepside truck beds complete or parts--paticularly the bedsides in good shape-thanks.

sub4rvr · 05-08-2004, 02:45 PM

Let me know if you find a sub in one of those yards. I could use a correct driveshaft too!

*bisquik65* · 05-09-2004, 06:48 PM

How about the door caps that go on top of a blazer door with a no hardtop option. These didnt even have glass in them. I need a set. Look in the build book to see them.
