Steroid Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I know most of Us are hitting the wrecking yards. What a few of Us are trying to collect are accessories of these types: The most logical place that these will be found are on old vans. Most custom vans had them as well as a lot of mini trucks. A few of Us have decided that as they are becoming historic pieces, and also might be wanted for period correct custom truck restorations, the ones found in good condition will be purchased. Most of You have seen a van in the yards but gave little thought to buying these type parts. Please add to this thread if You have any or run across them. Thanks!! Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 What are the top deals? Vents? Link to comment
motavated Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 The other day I seen a split window sunroof on a van in really good condition. last sunday!?!? I took a old shaft radio from it... Link to comment
Steroid Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jefe. Those are "Venturi Vents". This photo gives an excellent example of those accessories: The vents on the blue truck are longer and were called "Super Scoops". The Venturi Vents were designed to replace a stock camper shell vent. Like this on the yellow 521: Notice also on the blue truck the side windows. Those are what is in the lower part of the 1st photos, but are diamond shaped. Link to comment
