More Special Parts

Those other parts are super hard to find.  The same year B bodies have the same under dash parts as I understand.  I've had ads on fbbo for some time trying to find those parts.  Or one of those parts. 
These pictures above must be the absolute hardest parts for ebodies to find.  I've been looking for some time and have yet to come across them.  Maybe I'm just not calling the big boys and asking the right questions.

There are a few other pictures on this web page.  Would have been more but the mods over on the for only sites suck in a lot of ways.

Cuda Hunter,
I have never seen these parts for sale any where in all my years. The only part that I have seen available is the control panel delete plate. All these parts came with both cuda's, untouched.

Actually, there's one of just the heater cover delete plates listed on eBay right now from Tony's Parts.

This one looks to have been attached by the other method I described in a previous post, where the mounting studs were melted instead of speed nuts.

Here's the link:

Why does the one Tony have for sale not have the silver ridge around it? 
Is it for an ebody? Or for another body line?

How were the lack of heater hoses dealt with at the engine?  were there just rubber caps on the nipples?  Thinking small block water pump for example.

reference post #14.  The hose holes are blocked off with a plate. 
Then there is no heater box. Just a vented box.

I've made two offers on that block off plate in the recent past.  250 is what I offered.  But that is just not enough for Tony. 
I'm trying to spend that money on a challenger locking gas cap so I"m having a hard time with 350 for a used plate.  Maybe I'll come around to it.

thanks.  Yeah, I get that part but what about the engine side of the hoses, like at the water pump and intake manifold?

My Hemi had plugs... But on a small block I'm guessing they used a cap on the water pump...

According to the ICCA e-body judging book, "Heater delete cars have a black rubber cap over the nipples that are secured in place with Corbin clamps."

Heater delete cars have nipple clamps.  :haha:
