Need tonneau parts badly!

I need pretty much everthing that goes on the tonneau. All I have it the cotter "R" pin that holds the pin from bow #5 in the tonneau. However, I dont have the release handle or the bracket attached to the pin. I'd really like to have a fully functioning top this summer, so if you guys know where to find these parts, specifically the pin and bracket, I'd really appreciate it. Dont care if its off a wreck or NOS or whatever else.

Hawks has the release handle/cable, and I plan on ordering that soon. Now I just need the rest of the assembely that it attaches to.

TRY THIS

I have purchased a good number of Vert parts from ThirdgenParts
ThirdgenParts

They are a wrecking yard in Tampa FL who specializes in ThirdGen F bodies ( I think they are now doing fourth Gens too...). I have had good success in finding what I need from them at a pretty fair price. Never had a problem with quality it is always as described. Very friendly folks!

On their web page there is a link to their Ebay auctions. I checked and while they don't have the parts you are looking for listed they do have NINE vert specific parts up for auction. Contact them with your parts needs and they should be able to hook you up.

Have you seen the Convertible Schematic Sheets? They might help get the right part numbers and descriptions in searching for the parts you need...

Good Luck!

Speedy

I have a catalog also from a third gen supplier and they were auctioning on eBay so I got the catalog with my order... they have added some convertible parts, but they are pricey. I'd have to find it to recall but maybe it was 3rd Gen Motorsports??
Sorry I'm blanking right now...in the meantime scope out eBay
