I am looking for a part for a 68 El Camino and am not sure what its actual name might be. However, it is the support peice that is located directly under the center of the bed access floor panel. The storage box located behind the drivers seat goes through this support. Any help (1) on the name of this peice and (2) name, address, etc. of anyone who may have one for sale would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :?

I would call it a "bed panel support brace"....JOHNSUBR may be dead right on this one...I've seen plenty of aftermarket stuff for a '68 (3rd gen) elky, but have never run across any of these braces. You might check with National Parts Depot or Year One (they have on-line catalogs...I don't have links handy so you'll have to google 'em)...my only other guess is a salvage yard. We have a vintage chevy salvage here in Denver...it's called American Graffiti...I don't have thier phone # handy (sorry)...you might look it up (google...they have a website) and try them if all else fails...They would most likely have one and ship it to you. Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks alot guys, I just phoned American Graffiti and he is looking, at this time, to see what he may be able to do.

By-the-by, their web address is: www.americangraffiti.biz Note the extention is not .com but .biz. Check out their site!

Thanks again. In the meantime, if anyone else has one of these available I am still looking!
