'59 Buick parts wanted -- updated list

[Mark59]

 

ISO/Wanted -- 1959 Buick parts:

Just an updated list of parts I am still seeking for my '59 Buick. Any help finding the following items or leads on where I might locate any of this would be greatly appreciated. I have exhausted most of the "go-to" classic car wrecking yards without much luck. Any items marked with ** may also be found on 1960 models (as far as I know)...

Lower dash plenum and vent register connectors (A/C only)

1 end A/C register (L or R)

Dash end trim panel surrounds for A/C registers (L & R)

Autronic Eye (or at least B-59 base mount for dash)

Armrests for LeSabre 4-door (prefer gray, must be very nice with no warping or bubbling)

Hot gas valve bracket for A/C (will take complete valve, working or not) **

Underhood A/C plumbing (for patterns) -- hoses bad OK **

Early-style upper radiator mount with large plate

Fan shroud (A/C - equipped)

Water pump, crankshaft and power steering pump pulleys for factory A/C car (w/p & crank 3-sheave, p/s 1 sheave with offset) **

Any help including location of suitable cars being parted out in smaller or lesser known yards or "out to pasture" would be greatly welcomed. Thank you.

I have an AC radiator and shroud from a 58... don't know if it's the same offhand though. 

[Mark59]

I don't have a Hollander right now to check interchange -- I know the 2 years are very different, but you never know.  I DO know '60 is different, as it has different mounting points -- not sure on '58.  I do need a radiator as well.  Can any members check interchange..?

The pulleys you need are on eBay right now. 

[Mark59]

All the eBay pulleys are either the wrong year or type.  '59-'60 has the long-snout water pump (see attached pic).  All the water pump pulleys I saw were for short-snouts.  I don't know the interchange for the crank pulley or P/S pump...
