These are Very quite while opening and closing the tailgate.
You have to reused your original Trunnion hinge plate/bracket as seen in the pictures. Just remove the bolt with lock washer, replace with these stainless steel hinge trunnions and bolt back on your truck.

I recommend power coating or chrome your Trunnion hinge plate before installing these back on it. To prevent further rusting.

These are hinge trunnion replacement parts to upgrade your Chevy Stepside Truck.
The Trunnions are manufactured from Delrin and 303 stainless steel.

I have a picture listed of the replacement trunnions that are zinc plated which will still rust on your truck. I also show the original trunnion that was removed and has rusted and made that awful sound while opening and closing the tailgate. You can reuse your bolts and lock washers, but would recommend you use stainless steel bolt and lock washer. Be sure to use an antilock lube when reinstalling your Trunnions, prevent bolt lock! Just remove the bolt with lock washer, replace with these stainless steel hinge trunnions and bolt back on your truck just in reverse of how you removed it from the truck.

No more greasing the trunnion, No more rusting, No more noise with a huge improvement, smooth opening and closing of your tailgate! You'll love it!

Free shipping USPS in 50 states.

Material used:

Delrin is a Acetal AF blend, supplied as a 2:1 blend of Acetal AF-100 and Acetal 150 resins, has excellent sliding/friction properties. Bearings made of Acetal AF blend can operate at higher speeds while exhibiting reduced wear. These bearings are also essentially free of slip-stick behavior because the static and dynamic coefficient of friction are closer than with most plastics. Acetal AF blend retains 90% of the strength that is inherent in unmodified Acetal.

303 Stainless Steel is very similar in properties to that of 304 Stainless Steel, However 303 has an addition of sulfur for better machining characteristics. 303 Stainless Steel is Corrosion resistant to temperatures of 1500 Degrees or more. It is used in screw machines, food processing equipment, marine applications, and some aerospace application.

GREAT looking build! Where did you relocate the battery ? And your AC deflector balls look terrific! Have you found a plastic plater or replacements?

Thanks for sharing!

I relocated the battery under the bed, passenger side. Battery box that drops down for maintenance, etc. The terminal under the hood are for trickle charging and jump starting.

Ac deflector ball were re-chromed back east, plastic plater/chrome. I could find the details on that if you want. I could not find replacement deflector balls any where.

Older thread, I know...but, what kind of radiator and fan set up did you go with? Don't remember reading about that

[65C10-4.8]

Very nice, very clean. What did you use for the cold air intake set up, a kit available somewhere or pieced together ?

I ordered a replacement 1965 Impala Aluminum Radiator, modified the mounts on my truck and had a couple extra bungs added for the steam line, I also had a fan shroud custom built for it. I believe its a 14 inch fan, I think it's a 2000 cfm, pull fan.
