Front fender to cab THING?

[Ratnest]

As I've mentioned before, my 66 C10 (Ratnest) was a bonafide basket case. Today, I think I may have finally identified one of the rusty parts that came with the truck. See attached photo. I think it goes between the rear edge of the front fender and the cab...to keep road sludge from getting into the front of the door and cab. I've searched many 60-66's at a local vintage junk yard and never found one. On page 32 of the Classic Parts catalog you'll see part no. 37-614. Those could be the rubber part of the item in the picture. However, no metal component is listed.

If the metal part is not available, what do ya'll recommend to close up that space? Thanks, Jim

You`re right Ratsnest, they are as elusive as a vampire, I have been looking for one myself, I need the right side, seems that if a fender ever comes off they just discard them, I did find a set but the sellar wanted to sell them with the inner splash panels, keep looking you`ll find one when you least expect it.

Thanks...I won't give up. In the interim, I may just make something out of sheet metal and affix it as best I can. The vampire analogy fits perfect

Thanks a lot. I checked out their site and sent them an email asking they check inventory for a pair.

Hey Trooper,
Do you still have the lower control arms that use torsion bars?

 

[trooper]

I sold the frame but I might be able to get them. Do you need both and just the lowers.

 

[trooper]

Checked and they are not available.
