3rd Monkey Productions speciality is GM parts that they discontinued a long time ago, and they are practically impossible to find, as far as new old stock goes. The ones made for the earlier trucks were made from foam similar to what you find around the evaporator under the dash, so it's pretty brittle at this age. The later models had a single ply silicone version. Those are also discontinued. 3rd Monkey Productions makes these to use on the SM465, 5LM60, NV3500, and NV4500 (a second design option on the page). He also has one designed for the T56 swap, however that one is a by-request only part due to needing more measurements from each individual who wants it. For more information or want to order the part, PM @wareagle5420 and he will get you all squared away!

In the future, the plan is adding other gaskets and seals to the store as well and special requests are always welcomed!

Welcome y'all as a sponsoring member!

I wonder if these seals are on your radar - I thought I had found where the larger one was still available but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm wrong, or they've been discontinued. The heater core and evaporator core seals on the HVAC box where the pipes go through and the box meets the firewall.. they're almost always dried up and crumbling by now.

Obviously a kind of limited appeal thing since not many of us will have the HVAC box out, but if you're going through all that work, it sure would be nice to replace these seals at the same time.

You’re actually the second person to mention that one to me. It’s definitely on my radar, but I need to find time to get to the junkyard and take one out of a truck so I can get the dimensions. I’ll move that one up the list for sure.

Do you have a website? Or somewhere to see your inventory?
I currently use an Etsy store for everything my shop offers. There is definitely more coming in the near future. I have a couple different things in the works as we speak.
