If you can find who makes them let me know.
If you have them I would put them in...

Ive taken apart 2 silverado package blazers and a base model jimmy and havent seen them. I've wanted to get a set for the resto of my truck to tone down some noise but I can't find them. I've searched the junkyards and everything and I can't for the life of me find a pair.

I don't see why they wouldn't be on certain trucks unless someone removed them. I think we need to investigate this. I've never had one or seen one without unless they were removed.

Keep in my fellas, I think these were only on 73-80's...at least in the size and shape as pictured of the ones on my 73.

And to be sure we are not confusing the author of this thread, his truck is a 78....so try to keep that in mind when you say "I never saw them on such and such".

I have seen them before but on my 79 and 75 ,both bottom of the line custom deluxes, neither of them had them and they were both all orginal, no one ever messed with trucks when i got them.

Every pick up, Blazer and Suburban Ive ever had had them on there. That's why I want to know why certain trucks if unmolested didn't have them, what made them a factory option? And I had them on the following years; 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 84, 85, 86, 87, 89 and 91
