WTB: 3 piece dash trim piece (picture inside)

[alpinaguy]

They go up to mid 71 just up to when the late 71 cars came out with 2 piece dash. The early cars mid 71 back had the nicest dash's. IMO. I have a box full of these and 3- 3 piece dash's stored away as well. I know I have some NLA old stock of these corner vent covers stored away also. I'll part with some of the used but not my NLA pieces. I may also have part numbers too!

my '69 arrived from the factory with 'em warped on both sides...even in 1969 it took me awhile to find some replacements.

Their purpose is to direct defroster air to the vent windows so you'll be able to see your outside mirror. Early 2002s had 'em blocked off with foam, as the early 2 speed heater blowers didn't have enough moxie to defrost the windshield and the side windows. When the factory installed a stronger 3 speed blower in Jan 1969, someone forgot to tell Hans on the assembly line to quit stuffing foam in the outlet, and for several months they were assembled that way (including mine). I discovered the problem from an early Tech Tip in the CCA Tech Tips book way back when.

2002 trivia for today.

The warp and distortion was due to the excessive epoxy they used to put them together. They are two pieces glued together. The epoxythey used was too hot for the plastic and caused the distortion to occur and also the sun didn't help either. I have many perfect ones and of course many warped and distorted ones. Just was the luck of the draw I guess. About 85% of the ones I find are all damaged to some degree. GLWF

Are there any more of these side vent pieces? Do we know if they all fit the same. I have the dash with the 4-piece chrome set.
