What NOS GM parts do you have stashed away for 73-91 K5 builds?

Currently rebuilding an np205 and waiting to install cucv one tone axels out of a m1008 military truck
My spicer hubs are also sun faded.
I have a 73-75 (NP203) stock shifter arm and bezel NOS...a fuel sending unit in the box for dual tank (didn't know that when I bought it. A set of interior bed panels that are red and for what appears to be a 1976 and later. The bed panels had the GM plastic on them, but I didn't have sense enough to save that or I just can't find it. I've had a lot of interest in those but the shipping is insane because they are "over-sized".
He ain’t kidding about the paint - the really faded ones in this pick below were bought new in 1995 and were only on that truck for no more than four years .
rather then painting the hubs yellow.... maybe a yellow dye? or lightly wet sanding?
They get this chalky surface from the breakdown of the plastic id guess. Happens FAST. Even with a heat gun to bring it back, it is not as good as original.
That is why I prefer the Warn with the metal turn dials
Yeah those fade and flake the coating off in a few years too down here. Ain’t nothing safe.
need some NOS t case mount bolt lock tabs. Who's holding ???
I like the WARNs for easy usage but they just do not compare to SPICER hubs in the strength department - even the premium versions.
I've blown out WARNs with an open front diff ( granted it was major abuse happening and a very heavy truck....) but Spicer's never seem to give breakage issues locked or open - but damn they are a PITA with any traction aid in the front diff ; gotta be easy on them soon to be faded dials ( the reason why I initially stocked up on them ).
I'm not say'n that the WARN's are weak, not at all - they just ain't Spicer hub strong ( come to think of it I just might be a little biased...)
I'll check some of the other boxes I recently unearthed out of the garage - working many hours this week so give me a little time.
At one point I recall getting several of these from GM but that was many moons ago and Lord only knows if they are still there - but I will check for ya' .
I have a bunch of NOS window and door seals for Suburbans I have accumulated for that final build. My kids will sell them at the estate sale for $1
Not if you sell em to me for $2
$3.01
Damn John, Ya' ain't even got doors on that beast - what are ya gonna do with weather striping...
One day I might need them. lol
The same reason I’ve never cut those doors for the full top, they’re so nice I dream about putting them on a clean daily driver crew cab some day (before I age out).

Wes, I’ve checked every box today that I would think these could be in and have come up with nothing so I’m assuming that I used up all I had years ago. If I ever find any they are yours but as for now I’ve got squat…
No worries thanks for looking
