Stamped Chevy Script Valve Covers?

Anyone know a source that reproduces the 58-65? stamped steel script Chevrolet valve covers? I'm wanting a set and have only found Crap on E-Bay etc.

Thanks,
Robert

Not strictly "traditional"... decent quality but not cheap.

Best source I've found is '58 to '65 Impalas.

 

Are these covers actually that hard to find that you have to go to repops? I have about 30 sets, they seem to come in trunks of part cars. Or am I missing something here?

 

I probably saw 20 sets in different conditions yesterday at a local swap meet. Nice ones just aren't that hard to find and there are probably a couple pair out in my shed if a guy dug deep enough.

 

Almost every V8 Chevy had them, a few were even chrome.

 

I agree, there should be litterly millions of them out there. I've got at least a dozen sets floating around here. Chevrolet built almost 100,000,000 small blocks so that makes two hundred million valve covers left the plant.....................gotta be a couple of sets left.

i have a few sets laying around...if they are worth that much i need to dig some out...

 

Stagger bolt VCs are plentiful around here,too. Are you looking for a set already done or are you going to media blast & paint them yourself? I have 1 or 2 sets myself.

 

I found a cherry set just sitting in a car at the junk yard. Thinking Ebay I paid 15 bucks. Took them home, bead blasted, primed and painted them. They were as close to perfect as you will find....I got 25 bucks for them. A waste of time. I think the aluminum ones are stupid but that's just me.

 

I got 1 set of script VC's full of rocker arms and push rods, when i bought 2 sets of heads off craigslist.
cleaned em up and going to run them on my 53 chevy's engine

 

Repo's at $399, powdercoated BFD. There are plenty of nice originals around for cheap.

 

I don't remember ever buying a set, and one engine I bought came with a pair. I ended up with three sets, sold them, and have two more sets out there.

I think they're like 409 intakes--throw two in a corner, come back in a week, and you'll have three.

I agree, way to much money for repros. My three sources for old car parts have "Crushed Out" >=(. Last set I had was 15yrs ago and were Give-me's. I didn't think they'd be that hard to find either, I guess I need better friends. =D

So, the actual question should be "Does anyone know of any Old Junkyards within 150mi of Tulsa, Ok?"

Anybody....Anybody....Bueller?
