There search engine ( http://www.napaonline.com/) is not as good as it was on older parts. It is very literal in this case it would not find cam gear at first but then did find it under camshaft timing gear.

Thanks for the gear dimensions/data. Can you believe I have sat in front of me a new old stock fibre timing wheel, the same piece is used on the GMC 'Jimmy' & a chum has let me have it. I will fit it tomorrow.
Today we split the front panel into three pieces, drilling out numerous spot welds and several seam welds. We're going to replace the distorted flat pieces with new. Sadly on the passengers side most of the welds are later seam welds, which we'll angle grind off on Wednesday. The central part (rad panel) needs some careful thought before we cut sections to enable us to selectively straighten it out &/or replace as necessary. I'll take some pics on Wednesday to illustrate.
I'm waiting for some items before we can set about pulling out the B posts. We also need to split the door skin & frame to enable them to be seen to.
The major worry is the rad, I really need a replacement that's straight with good top & bottom tanks, which we can get re-cored, if necessary.
