Hard to believe, but it’s this time of year again!
Welcome to the 2024 Pay it forward thread! If anyone is up to joining in, I’d like to kick off this year’s Pay-It-Forward thread.
Each year as we approach the Holiday season, we find a renewed spirit in gift giving with friends and family. That giving spirit lives on here at the Corvette Forum and this the C-3 Corvette Family.
I would like to dedicate this year’s PIF thread to David Howard (All C3’s For Me), and any others we have lost along the way. You are sorely missed!
This thread will begin the annual “Pay-It-Forward” Holiday Season gift giving activity.
The rules for this are simple.
1) You post an item that you are giving away free of charge. Yes, you pay shipping to the new owner unless you have made previous arrangements with the claimer to pay shipping, share shipping, etc. This usually applies more to shipments outside of the US for our friends in Canada; Europe; and Australia where costs for shipping can be extravagant at times. US shipments are typically paid for by the giver for this Pay-It-Forward activity.
2) You can claim an item you are interested in owning after you have posted an item to be given away. It is, after all, a time of giving, not a time of taking, so please don't start claim an item before you take the time to Pay-It-Forward with your item or items.
3) You can post more than one item to give away. After all, it is the Holiday Season.
4) If you have given your offered part to someone please post an update to your offer thread and let us know who it was that claimed the part. This will help us to keep track of parts and avoid people asking you if it is still available when it may be gone already.
5) Be generous with your fellow Corvette Community members.
6) Have fun. This is a great community of Corvette owners and enthusiasts. Spread the joy.
I’d like to offer up the first item to give away, shipped free:
I double ordered a set of replacement rubber brake hoses for 63-82 corvettes.
I am listing this unopened set purchased from Full Throttle Corvette. Shipped for free to whoever claims this set.
Let the games begin!
These brake lines have been claimed by Piersonpie

I have a set of crossmember brackets I would like to forward also. I have a friend with a CNC machine, so I made these from 3/16" steel using a diagram another member graciously made .
I was going to use them, but I chickened out because I was afraid of cutting the floor pan, and other mods I did allowed me enough room , so I don't need them.
You may need to grind them a little to fit your crossmember.
Thanks for doing this. I was fortunate enough to meet David Howard at Carlisle.
In his honor, I'll offer up what I bought from him back then. A set of road-tested L48 valve covers, to replace the awful Edelbrock dress-up kit that came with my car. I'll include Fel-Pro 1628 valve cover gaskets, whatever bits are still attached, and the hardware if I have it. Here they are on my car during her last trip with the L48.

Free US shipping.
I was never fortunate enough to meet him, but I had purchased a rear spring mounting plate as well as a front crossmember plate, both with the built in tow “rings”, as well as a C3 wall mounted key holder from him. Additionally, he had also given me a second C3 key holder last year for Christmas.
What a great guy, and has been missed very much on here.
Thank you for starting the thread this season and especially for dedicating it to David.
I have a few items I will post up over the next couple of days.
I'm glad to see this thread up for 2024 and dedicated to David Howard. When I was looking for a replacement frame, David helped confirm some of the mods that I needed to make to the replacement '74 frame for use with my '72.
I'll throw in the parking brake hardware shown below into this thread. These were removed from a project car where the owner installed rebuilt trailing arms but never hooked up the parking brake cables and ultimately pushed the chassis into the back corner of his shop where it sat until we found it. The shoes have zero wear but one of the calipers leaked so I'll leave that up to you if you want those.
Surely we’ve got to have more interest in the PIF than just 6-7 guys/gals.
Im gonna add another item to give away and hopefully spark some interest.
Up for grabs is my OEM 74 steering wheel
. I bought an aftermarket 14” wheel so don’t need the original.
