HELP! I need a few parts and google is getting to be a pain in my ass..

[Nitrocide595]

Hey guys and girls,

I'm looking for a few parts for my dad's '74 'Cuda.  At this point, i've been on google for months and what it comes down to is that I only know descriptions of the parts I'm looking for and not the actual names, so I can't find them.  here's a quick list of parts I'm looking for.  Some are obvious and I'm just putting them here to see what deals people can find AND for the sake of keeping a list.


"Package Tray cover"?  The spot between the top of the rear seat and the window- I just need the cover- right now it's exposed metallic insulation

Rocker Panel Chrome trim clips

window chrome clips

tail light chrome clips

Window Regulator (driver's side)

Mirror Glass (I have the mirrors, the glass is just cracked and dad didn't notice until a few years after he got them back from the body shop that painted everything.  too late to file a claim or anything, bottom line I need the glass and places around here don't custom cut!!!)


Thanks for the help, everyone!  I want to try and help my dad get this done so he can go back to driving it- I think it'll make him a happier person and a little less stressed, so this project is very important to us

You can get alot of that stuff from Dave at roseville moparts, classic industries , r/t specialties , or year one most of them will talk to you over the phone and will know what it is you are looking for with a detailed description. Good luck on your search.

I installed rocker trim and it was a real pain to do.  I used clips from eBay.  I recommend getting a few extra as I broke quite a few getting them on.  A quick search turned up:

alright, thanks so far guys!  and yeah, my bad on posting in the wrong section- I don't go on here too often these days!

Really the only high- priced part I need is the regulator- lookin' like $200 or so on Year one.  I wish I could just skip that but, if you're not gonna do it right, don't do it at all, ya know?

Would a challenger regulator work? If so I have one.

[Nitrocide595]

a challenger regulator would work, but I don't really have any money right now.  thanks for the offer though B/

So far the glass has proven most difficult to find.  I can't even find Mirrors really.  They're all the rally mirrors or the small chrome ones- these are full sized painted mirrors.  I just need glass, but if I have to get the mirrors and just take the glass, I guess that's a last resort

Cutting glass is simple. Either buy yourself a tungsten carbide cutter OR take a template made of paper the exact size of the required part to the local stained glass shop and ask them to cut you one from blank mirror stock. It'll take someone who knows what they're doing, about 2-3 minutes to do. If they have a grinder, get them to smooth the edges as well. If it was me, $10 would do the trick. Good luck!

I'm gonna go to a glass shop tomorrow morning to see if I can get a deal.  I tried email but that didn't work so well lol

[Nitrocide595]

Hopefully I'll be able to get some of this stuff for my dad's birthday this year.  That regulator's a nice price, but I just don't have money right now unfortunately B/

My dad said something about getting one from a guy at work, but so far I haven't seen it come home...  for reference, how much are you asking for one?
