Hi, I am doing a 70 vista cruiser and need the following pieces. Need the r/r wheel opening moulding,r/r lower moulding behind wheel that seperates the woodgrain and paint,rear gate handle,lowermoulding on the gate that seperates the wodgrain from paint, rear gate opening trim,front grilles that are in one piece,door window trim around glass on outside and interior trim panels the cover the "C" pillar on the inside. I also would be interested in a 70-72 vista cruiser bigblock car for parts if it had a lot of the thing I need. I also need the roof mouldings needed to two tone the roof.

Sorry for posting in two spots but relized I may have put this in the wrong section. Thanks

Still looking for all these parts plus I need a long tail 400 transmission. I think that is what is used in the 70 vista cruiser.

I just need to get to the shop to get you a pic of the wheel opening molding...it is in vg condition. But I still want you to see a pic first. I will get one this week...I promise!

70vista

Thanks I appreciate it. I would like to take all the stainless to the polisher at the same time so finding the wheel opening and the small piece on the lower rear quater is most important right now,

Thanks for the leads guys. I have found most of the parts but still looking for upper "C" pillar mldgs and plate lite.

442Harv

The C piller is the back piller back of rear seat,correct? I think I have a set. Sold my VC, so may be interested in selling.

70vista

Thanks, Yes they are behind the rear seat from the rear of the rear door opening to the front of the rear side glass. I am interested if you have them. Thanks again

70vista

I was wrong on location. These are the lower "C" pillar mldgs (Dog leg area). Need right and left.

jensenracing77

i should have a set of these. would you have a picture of the area you are talking about and how long the ones you need are? i took some trim off before i cut the dog legs out of one and don't know what one goes where.

70vista

I will get a picture posted this weekend of the part I need. Thanks

Bluevista

I have a license plate lite, front or rear?

It's a little bent and rust encrusted but the bulb housing, contact and wire look okay.
The lens is broken on one end and cracked but I thinks you you can get those from Fusick.
If you want it PM me your address and I'll send it out. If you like it send me whatever it cost for shipping , if you don't like it pitch it in the trash and send me whatever it cost for shipping.

70vista

Hi, Here are a couple of shots of the piece I need. I need right and left. Thanks

Bluevista

Those are almost always messed up on the top from being exposed to the sun. That plastic can't take UV exposure, they should of never used it there but they did.
Mine were bad so I rebuilt the tops with flexible bumper repair putty and then I skimmed over the top surface with some 2K glazing putty and textured it with a sponge until it looked just like the rest of it, sort of.
The top interior C pillar covers get brittle as glass and you have to be really careful removing and installing them too.

70vista

I know these get brittle from the way the sit in the car but I was hoping someone with a car from the northeast would have them with less sun exposure.

there is a guy parting out a 70 vista on ebay under salvage vehicles. he is in south dakota same color interior as yours. looks like he has everything you need

70vista

Thanks for the lead. I did see that car on ebay but thought he was selling the car as a whole. I will check again.

jensenracing77

i feel bad now. i was thinking something much differant. for some reason i was thinking trim on the outside of the car. i must not have looked hard enough at your post. i can look but most likely the ones on this car will be bad. it is from AZ and most of the interior is shot. sorry.

70vista

Was able to get the parts from the e-bay car 1001coins mentioned. Hope the pieces are as good as the guy says.

2blu442

Sorry, I hadn't read your post for a while. If the lower C pillar covers aren't good enough when they show up let me know. I believe I have an extra set.
John

70vista

Will let you know if these aren't decent when I get them. Thanks

70vista

Received the lamp assembly and it looks in very restorable condition. Thank You

70vista

Well the guy who had all the parts stiffed me and got nothing from him.
I still need a lot of the parts I had listed minus the mldgs and plate lite. If anyone has any leads on thes eparts I would appreciate it. Thanks Steve

oldspackrat

Steve,
I've got some of the parts on your list, can you give me a call for more info & prices? I've got all the stuff at my house & can look at it on the phone with you & get you pix as well.
Thanks.

Steve, after you get the items Scott has let me know what you still need.
John

70vista

Thanks guys, I got to remake the list again and will call. Thanks Steve

70vista

This is the updated parts list I still need.
1. Right and Left "C" pillar lower mldgs.
2. Rear Gate Lock and wire harness for it.
5. Complete roof rack assembly (just need the stainless upper bars undented).
6. Rear Gate opening rubber step plate pieces.
7. kickdown switch bracket and wiring to it (converting from turbo 350 to 400).
8. The Drive shaft for a wgaon 455/400 car
9. Rear Gate hinge if tight.

70vista

Just bringing to the top. Still need everthing in the previous post except for the roof rack and gate hinge. Scott if you read this do you still have some of this stuff?? Thanks

oldspackrat

Steve,
I've got those two ugly c pillar moldings. They are better than nothing, that's about all I can say about them.
I do have an extra key cylinder for a vista tail gate, but no wiring.
Give me a call if you want.
Thanks.
Scott
c. 317-727-7041

70vista

Thanks Scott, If the "C" pillars are all crumblely would not be able to use them. I don't mind painting them put have to be solid. I also need a dash ash tray door and hardware. Does the rear cylinder have a key and bezel? Thanks

Giftman23

If 70Vista passes on the c pillar moldings, please PM me with a few pics - I need a passenger side as mine has disentigrated - something is better than nothing. Thanks!

oldspackrat

70vista, I have just the cylinder. I thought I had another bezel, but it's hiding from me apparently.
I believe one of the chevelle wagon guys is reproducing those. You might check with Pete Lohrman? or do a search for chevelle wagon parts? I've got one nice ashtray door, you'll have to paint/dye to match, & I might have two of the shims for it also, but not sure. How about $20.00 for it & if I have the shims, I'll include them also.

giftman23,
Here is a link to a picture of the drivers side, pass side is similiar to this one. These have been painted at one time. With some work & more paint, they would look ok, but not great. Give me a call if you want.
Thanks.
Scott
