Engine out, couple questions... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pulled the engine last week for a rebuild, while out want to clean up/paint the engine compartment plus replace rotted parts. What is the name of the rubber wire protector/shroud on top of the firewall? Could not find it on the "Classic Parts" website, which I've had good luck with in the past.

Secondly, pressure washed the engine bay & suspension, and the A arms sure don't look 44 years old to me. Upper A arm is stamped 3785 on one side, 3786 on the other. The rear end is out of a mid/late eighties 3/4 ton, could the front suspension be non 72 also??

I can't answer the A arm question, but you need a wire gutter for the firewall. All vendors seem to sell them in sets of 2. One for the firewall and one for the core support.

Thank you FirstOwner, that is exactly what I was trying to find! Anybody have any ideas about the suspension? Or maybe best to re post in the suspension section?

Thanks for any input,
Brian
