New K5 parts coming soon!

Let me say right off the hop, THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE post.
Just an announcement...
This has been a few yrs in coming. Lots of false starts, little kids, work blah blah blah
BUT they are finally ready!
First up is 73-91 rear sill scuff plate. NOS has all but dried up on these. These are thicker and built to last. Far more complex than the '69-72, it took more than a "few" tries to get it right. I tested against 12 trucks and 17 strips including NOS.
These weren't perfect from factory so I got as close as I could.
I have some out in the field for R&D. Waiting on reports back. They will come with correct GM small head #8 screws.
Pix are of the test mule.
Before...

After

Profile. Top is GM bottom is my plate.

Second is 73-91 interior bedside blanks.
These are geared toward the those who need to restore and/or customize the panels. NOS are long gone and the repos are not very attractive.
Need ton of speakers? Fix what GM gave you? Got you covered.
Save time and energy with these. Factory screw holes are located so no guess work. GM made them with fiber board which just turns to mush once wet.
Won't happen with these. These too have been tested against 12 different trucks 74 thru 91 to ensure a proper fit.
Again good ol test mule is the model.
These are a work in progress. I have a really cool version I'm working on in addition to these ones.




Comments? Suggestions? PM or post up.
I have more in the works for our trucks. Stay tuned.
