I'm tired of storing these and they are not going back in, front and rear interior end caps from a 71 Globbtroter. Front is ABS and rear is fiberglass, Both are repairable as they have the usual cracks. I will not ship these.

I have front and back end caps out of a 1972 Overlander available to anyone who wants them. Both are ABS. Typical cracks that can be repaired. Let me know in the next two weeks. Will not ship.

How are these cracks typically repaired? Fiberglass tape? Just curious what the general consensus is on repairing these. My front cap has a nasty crack in it.

Bedfords, do you have a pic of your front endcap? I'd like to see if its in better condition than mine.

I know it doesn't add much to your thread, other than historical perpsective, but I worked for Sperry Corporation (Univac, Remington Rand, etc.) in the 1970's, and it's Sperry New Holland Division (farm and construction equipment), purchased the company, located in Lebanon, OH, that made these fiberglass endcaps.

Their main line of fiberglass products was food furniture for supermarkets (such as produce stands), but they also made a variety of other products, including fiberglass storage sheds and dog houses, plus ATV's ... and these end caps that they sold to Airstream.

I know several of the manufacturing, enginering and other managers that worked at that plant -- I'll have to tell them they sold a defective product that has cracks in it.
