Does anyone know a source to find replacement bump stops for a Chev C8? It seems they are a standard Chevrolet part of the early 40's, but somehow I can't find the correct ones with any of the classic Chevy and Hot Rod guys.

Hi Alex
I have seen these on CMPs that had obviously been cut from old tire casings. Given the shortage of rubber during the war would not be surprised that these and the rubber cab mounts were cut out of truck tire casing. Following this thought train have cut all of the ones I've replaced. Cheers Phil

You could possibly try Chevs of the Fortys they are located in
Vancouver Washington, they have lots of early Chevy stuff |

Brian Asbury. These shock rubbers were all over when Levy's came down. I'm sure he stocks them

Guys thanks for responses and ideas.
Phil, very interesting to hear that these rubbers were often cut from whatever old rubber they could find. I guess I could also do that, but I thought it would be easy enough to find some newly made rubbers at one of the parts suppliers. I haven't had any luck with finding the rubbers at Chev of the forties or the filling station, or maybe I am not looking good enough. Will have another look this weekend. Thanks again, Alex
