Looking for a couple of parts

[No1rascal]

Looking for a couple of parts for my 66 Handi-bus & thought I would c if any one on the board might have some.

First I am looking for a set of Custom emblems from a Handi-bus. Would like to find a pair of clean ones but if they r good enough to re-chrome that would work as well.

2nd I am looking for a steering column rubber seal in NOS or VGC (pretty sure these r the same for 1st & 2nd gens).

Lastly I was wondering if anyone has a part number or source for 1st gen backup light bases. I might b able to get mine re-chromed but if a replacement is available I would like 2 know.

Any info is most appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

I Think the backup lights are the same as the ones on a Step side Chevy pickup bed( GM used them many years on the step sides)

Thanks Tom, but from what I have found so far online, the truck replacements r different that our vans.

Scott what is the rubber seal? - maybe you can provide a photo of the location?

Gary, its the large rubber boot that covers the base of the steering column, has 2 holes one for the column the other for the shift rod.
Will try to post a pic.

Looking for a couple of parts

Scott I looked for an hour - I do not find the housing listed in 1967-1971 dated parts books. Only the lens. They list the 2nd Gen housing and other vehicles but not 1966 G10.

Gary, thanks 4 taking the time to look for the housing, I had about the same result as u.
I may decide to go a different route as I don't really like the way the original light sticks out so far.
Gonna c if one from a 66 C10, which r smaller & flatter, would work on the van.
Not sure due to the curve in the van body, as the C10 is flat where it mounts. Gonna look into further when I have the time.

If u have a column seal in good shape, pls post a pic whenever u have the time.
Absolutely no rush on my end.

Thanks again.

Is this what you are looking for?

Also, might this be the part numbers for the rubber/plastic bases?

I have one that looks to be pretty good if I can get it off without messing it up

[No1rascal]

Thanks guys for all the get input. I am rethinking the backup light, might go a different route one less obvious.

Sleepy if u could post a pic when u get it off that would b great. No rush on my end.
