Try this guy. WillThorn2@aol.com Several on here have bought from him. He makes a business of parting out these old trucks and usually has the old ball stuff and pieces like you are asking for. He is up in New England somewhere. Can anyone else give more info about him? All I can find is the email address. Gater
I believe his name is Will Bartlett and he is in Connecticut. I have driven up to visit him and he is a hoot. Works exclusively on AD trucks and has bins and bins of parts that he takes off these trucks as well as tons of sheet metal covered up in the yard of his house. Slaps them together real nice and quick and sells them off at a profit. Nice heated shop and quality work, I'll tell you that, yessiree. Saw two trucks he was in the middle of working on while I was there and was quite impressed. Got some window trim from him myself. Recently saw that he has some stainless window trim for sale from the stovebolt page. On stovebolt, his screen name is "redrose". He doesn't post often, but he looks at the page a lot and responds to "parts wanted" ads if he has what you need. Cell Phone is (203) 725-6413 Home phone (203) 266-6698 alternate email is hurlant06751@yahoo.com Hope that helps you 'gater. Andy
Remember , if your truck isn't perfect , you can save big $ by buying imperfect stainless steel window trims , polishing it up and ignoring the dents ~ this is what I did on my work truck and it looks great , the dents on the windshield surrounds (the single most expen$ive window trims) are hardly visable on my rig... Nasty , stained up stainless steel can easily be polished back to a chrome like finish ~ I did all mine by had , I know most use a Rouge wheel but I also know those wear the metal thin like paper .
I guess no one takes me serious, but SOS pads work GREAT! Get 'em wet and go to town -easy- . The soapier they get, the better the effect.
Polishing Meduim Well , SOS pads are about 300 grade , that's -far- too abrasive for me although I agree, keep 'em juicy and they _do_ clean up really well . if you have red rust stains or paint on your stailness , I guess they'd work allright but then a # 000 or -finer- steel wool pad with light machine oil will work better IMO . For hand polishing , I use " Met-All " a pink paste that comes in flat round cans like Carnuba wax came in when I was a laddie... It's good stuff ! they even tell you : use sparingly ! a little bit goes a long ways . The cloth you use has everything to do with the final surface finish too... Your power buffing wheel , that's a whole 'nother subject and you _MUST_ use the right rouge and never contaminate the wheels with another grade of rouge...
