Sorely needed new parts! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-16-2019, 12:34 PM

Sorely needed new parts now available. 1967 to 1972 Complete "A" Pillar assemblies and Outer Pillar. These parts should save many more trucks. This is not a for sale add so please do not inquire on the thread. It is merely meant to be informative for the guys who need them. WES

Those really are break through parts right there. This is great. Certainly many cab issues are found in these areas

**1971Stepside** · 10-16-2019, 01:35 PM

So you basically just need a roof and the back of the cab now? Glad to see these being made.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

What about the 3rd inner cowl piece or is someone making that with the floor attached?

35boulder · 10-16-2019, 05:11 PM

I agree with the others, nice piece.

**jaros44sr** · 10-16-2019, 05:15 PM

Where are they being made and what gauge metal are they?

Thanks Wes, for keeping sorely needed parts available to us. You did a great job on the gusset and screw on the 72 only doors for blazers.

I'll be ordering a set after I get my truck running, Hated to think that I was going to have to use rusty OEM parts

Very nice piece.

A whole cab would work too

Some one is and others will start offering them. Check Rtech Fabrications.

After spending 4-5 hours today drilling spotwelds and pulling the other cowl off. Man, it would be a lot of work to replace that part.

**Grumpy old man** · 10-17-2019, 05:37 PM

It won't be long before a complete cab will be available , Think Dynacorn .

you can already buy a 47-54 cab - http://www.dynacornclassicbodies.com...let-truck-cab/

The price of rotten /rusted away trucks with a vin plate and clean , clear title will skyrocket ^

Nice piece. Should help a lot of trucks. I'm replacing the lower section of both pillars near the floor.
