    Just got a 65 Chevy Van G10. I have searched the internet and haven't really found any vendors for Chevy.

    I need seat upholstery, engine cover seal and possible automatic steering column or linkage etc to go back to 3 speed manual.

    Thank you.

    I can cover the easy one - the engine cover seal: 3M BHR3810 -- Saw product on ebay:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/221744631745

    Tim Kahn is cutting up / parting out a 1966.   If you have a late '65, the linkage is the same.  If you share your VIN (you can private message me if you wish) I should be able to let you know if you have the 1st or 2nd design linkage.

    SMS has the original pattern for seat material pattern.   Sometimes a long delay, definitely full cost.  Curious, did you try a local upholstery guy for a nice non-original pattern cover; there are no premade I am aware of; other may know...


    HEY - just noticed your town - not to far away (for Texas anyway).

    The seat frame is completely different than cars or trucks for that matter.

    Cant think of anything else off hand. I have a 66 Econoline as well, no way a Falcon or Mustang seat would work without major mods.

    I bought an awesome pair of  lowback seats off Amazon for $85 apiece that are offered for forklifts.....Most car seats are not made to sit low enough...

    Vendors for Chevy Van G10 Empty Have linkage for a 65 Chevy

    I have most (maybe all) of the shift and clutch linkage for a 65 G10.  I will happily sell it to you for a very low price. The pieces are long so shipping will be interesting.  Let me know if you are interested and I will dig all of it out of my shed.  I also have a 3 speed trans, bell housing, and clutch pedal if you need those.

    I have the bellhousing, clutch pedal, Z bar etc.

    Pretty sure all I need is the shift rods or linkages and the transmission. The transmission is a big hassle to ship so I wont ask you to do that.

    But the rods and the shifter ears I definitely need.

    Im in Brenham TX 77833 zip code.

    I'll dig them out of the shed and post a picture and list of what I have. If you want the trans I'll look into what it would take to ship it. Or, you can meet me in El Paso in April. I'll be there for El Paso comic con with my unique '65. I could bring everything.

    The previous owner of my '67 108 installed Recaro seats. They work OK. I've had this van for about 15 years now.

    I don't know what model the Recaro seats, are, though.

    I have the seats, so I just need upholstery. I have a friend that owns a flag business, may just use some worn Texas flags to make covers. The original upholstery is in good enough condition to use as a base for the flag material.
