68 Toro trim

68Toro71442 · January 11th, 2007, 06:22 PM

I recently purchased a 68 Toro which is in rather good shape. I am looking for some good trim pieces for the front end.
One piece is the Rocket Emblem on the front bumper. As far as I can tell it is a 68 only emblem. Although the 69 had the same bumper, there was no rocket emblem on the bumper.
I am also looking for the rubber trim piece that runs along the front edge of the hood. This must be the same for both the 68 and 69, and maybe the 1970.
I have searched e-bay but no luck. I would appreciate any information on sources for these parts.

I may have the rubber piece, it's sandwiched between the hood and a thin metal piece, does that sound right? What part of the country are you in? John

Hi Bob
I hesitate to use my phone number or email address in open communications. I would rather share that information in a private message. Put your mouse pointer on my name, click left mouse key, then a dropdown window opens that gives the option for a private message.

The rubber piece is sandwiched between the hood and the thin metal piece with 1/4" sheetmetal screws. The rubber would be easy to ship as it's soft enough to coil and put in a smaller box. If you decide you need the thin metal trim I might be able to put it in a section of pvc pipe to ship. I can provide photos for you. John
