Thanks for the info. I have the loose leaf parts catalog and service manual for the truck and this aspect is definitely vague. I'm mucking with fabricating a replacement part with a channel with pressure plates actuated by set screws to hold the glass. The clearances are tight, but I'm cautiously op...

my window fell out too.. the regulator mechanism was mostly in good shape, but the track that holds the window was disintegrated and split from rusting. the one rear clip had broken free from its spot welds and fell into the bottom of the door, where i found it. i ended up rivetting the original br...

" I did find a painted bumper, thinking I could probably sandblast it and and have it chromed? Anyone done that?" yes it can be done, however, it doubles the cost of the plating, and as you said needs to be a clean surface. It has to be dipped more times than a bumper that is sent-in for a re-dip. ...

Pinch welds can be drilled out and chiseled apart, I checked the parts manual and see that you all right about that piece be...

I'll take your word for the valance panel being welded to the core support. I don't see any spot welds (pics attached). Guess I'll find out when I try to take it apart.

I'm talking about the lower panel under the grille, directly behind the bumper.

Found a grille from Bonanza Auto Dismantlers in CA FYI

Thanks again

Thanks

Does anyone have experience with the Ramman D-100/D-200 FRONT DISC BRAKE conversion KITS? I saw a few posts where folks were in the process of converting, but couldn't find any feedback after installation. The kit looks slick, if a bit pricey. ....Although I'm not sure you can put a price on actuall...

Thanks for the information and help.

Thought I had a line on the grille and valance, but still no luck.
I'll see about straightening the bumper.

Hi All,

Got in a front end collision with my beloved 1970 D200 Camper Special.
I'm looking for a front bumper (chrome), front grille (Aluminum) and front valance panel.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
