New Square Body Truck Firewalls For A Clean And Rust-Free Restoration

New Square Body Truck Firewalls For A Clean And Rust-Free Restoration

Over the course of its 15-year production, the square-body Chevy truck era produced some of the greatest-looking haulers throughout the company’s history. The downside is that with the last trucks being produced almost forty years ago, many of these trucks don’t look so great anymore. Thankfully, companies such as Auto Metal Direct (AMD) have committed to creating many of the body panels that are susceptible to the ferrous worm on these trucks. These square-body truck firewalls are the latest offerings that not only help bring back those perfect body lines but also give the builder options not available when new.

Smooth Or Stock?  

The company’s latest introduction is a pair of firewalls that are made to the original specifications and are constructed from high-grade automotive steel. As an added bonus, the folks at AMD have created two versions of the new firewall, allowing for easier customization, should the truck’s builder decide to go that route. If you are restoring the truck or will be using the factory air conditioning mounting points, AMD has a new stock-style firewall. If you want a super-clean, streamlined appearance under the hood, AMD also has a smooth firewall for Square-Body Chevy trucks.

Square-Body Truck Firewall

Builders can choose between a factory-style firewall with provision for the OEM heater box or a smooth firewall for a clean underhood appearance.

These two new firewalls allow options when replacing the firewall in your Square-Body. You can mount the stock heater box/air conditioning system, or builders can opt for AMD’s smoothed version to either integrate their own air conditioning or eliminate it altogether for an amazingly-smooth firewall.

The Quality Is Built In

Each firewall is EDP coated to protect it against rust and corrosion prior to installation. AMD firewalls are designed as a direct replacement for the factory-installed, original firewall and its straightforward installation will easily remove decades of wear and rust from your truck. Firewalls are designed to replace factory GM part numbers: 14007504, 14016673, and 14026340.

Nothing beats brand-new panels when striving for a clean and rust-free restoration and AMD has everything you need to help you do just that. Check out AMD’s website to order that new OEM- or smooth-style firewall for your classic Square-Body truck. You’ll find many other quality body panels you’ll need to bring your 1973-1987 Chevy truck back to better-than-new status as well.
