There was, I cant recall who though. I want to say Jabin Wood (HarnessWorkz) maybe? Fair warning if it is him, he has(had?) a reputation of taking money and not always delivering the product/or doing so in a reasonable timeframe.

Yeah. That guy. He's been banned from here and numerous other forums.

I think @Keith Seymore knows someone that does those reproductions?

permethrin does magic. Oil based (stinks until it dries) or water based. 3 oz/gallon of water and they're dead in less than a minute. Oil based last longer on surfaces due to rain n such.
Brake cleaner gets it done too. Works on lots of things.

Brake cleaner. It's not just for brakes any more.

If Keith doesn't, they're probably not being made anymore

For some reason me and the bugs have an understanding, I leave them alone if they leave me alone. Haven't had wasp nests in decades yet I see wasps daily in the yard hunting for insects. The bugs stay outside and we get along just fine. Only exception are the flies and mosquitoes, they have no manners and tore up the agreement like Pelosi tore up that document. So the flies and mosquitoes are fair game for annihilation

Been prototyping an adapter bracket for the 79 for adding intermittent wipers. The module and switch is from a 1990 ford bronco.

Will be bringing it with me to the shop and see if it fits.

I will likely cut the stem of the switch down, as it is fairly long and does not need to be. (the knob is not fully seated in the photo)

So similar, yet different. The shape of the face, and "washer wiper" script are almost exactly the same, aside from the style of switch. Very interesting.

I had this experience with reproduction window stickers.

I asked the GM Heritage Center if they knew somebody that had blanks.

The archivist said "here - call this guy".

I looked at the slip of paper he handed me and it was my own phone number.

(lol)

Pulled the rest of the decent parts off the C30 and brought it in for scrap. Then used the funds to buy bucket seats from a 2014 ram and a center console from a 2013 silverado to replace the bench in the suburban.
The truck you scrapped looks as good as my driver!

Hain't Scrapped

Filled her up cost me almost $100 and drove her to work today. Has a slight hesitation at tip in thinking the K&N air filter in the adapter is a bit too small, think I'm going to pick up the screen filter they sell for this setup and try that.
