72 Driver NorthCarolina UNDER CONSTRUCTION

[flash]

I think I got my trunk lock clip from Hinshaws used but they may reproduce it now and the other parts Im not sure about .For my 72 Chevy truck Napa had wiper arms and blades in stock so you might try them as well .Roger Ausley may also have what you need and he is also great to deal with and in your state .

Ausleys is great. Just running out if capital to invest in new parts. Send cash!

Are there any good salvage yards left in your neck of the woods? Wiper arms will mostly be the same on 68'-72' GM A-Body cars. (Chevelle, Monte Carlo, El Camino, GMC Sprint, Tempest, Lemans, GTO, Gran Prix Skylark, Cutlas, 442)

Most of that stuff is picked over down where I am. I have to venture out into "the sticks" to find any decent yards.

Im right here on the coast. I have to get to the west side of I95 (120 miles)before theres any old salvage yards. Just going to have to call Ausleys Monday

#3 - Some wiper arms in good shape


68-69 door handles are the same, 70 -72 door handles are different.

68-72 trunk lids have the same clip to hold the lock. Find an original clip the repo ones do not work very well. I may have one.
I also should have a set of wiper arms laying around.

I would take a clip and the arms if u have them. I can paypal you asap.

Well windshield wiper arms are on the way. I found a guy local with a 68 and a 69 that being parted out. I got the trunk lock cyl. clip and door lock arms I was missing. Now all locks are in and working as well as the glass being in and rolling up and down! Working on getting the front fender extensions and headlamps installed now.

Im looking at using the five spoke wheels that came on the chevelle and z28. I found some local. No beauty rings or center caps. Anyone know we're to get some of those?

I think Summit sells the beauty rings ,most all the repro places sell the center caps but they aint cheap. Try NPD , I bought some for my Elky a few years ago but dont remember where . If I remember they are about $100 per set .

The only problem with the beauty rings from Summit, if you order them, is you can't inspect them. I went thru sending mine back, a few years back, more than 4 times cause they were not in good shape or they were loose.

WOW 100! Nothings cheap these days. I kinda figured that. Thanks for the info
