Radiators and its surrounding components include listing for the GM and Ford gas and diesel engines. Mill Supply carries radiator caps, separate cooling fans, engine and transmission coolers, and coolant recovery kits. For the E450 air conditioned bus vans we provide the replacement condenser fans that mount underneath the vehicles. The fans we carry are universal in design and will fit many Ford E450 Econoline vans. The 10” coolant fan replaces existing fans used on TransAir and some Carrier units.

New to Mill Supply’s line is Water pumps. We now carry water pumps for Chevrolet P30/P3500’s for vehicles ranging from 1978 through 1999. The units we carry are popular on 6 cylinder 292 c.i,, 250 c.i., and V8 gas models with the 350 c.i., and 454 c.i. Plus water pumps for diesels with V-8 engines, 395 c.i. and 379 c.i. For Ford applications we have water pumps to replace older units from 1978 through 1991 with 6 cylinder 300 c.i. engines.

We have divided our suspension components for Chevrolet P30 vans by wheel size, if the vehicle has dual or single rear wheels and by I-beam or Independent suspension. Popular replacement parts for Chevrolet include sizes for 16” and 19.5” wheels. The front suspension components include inner and outer tie rods, stabilizers, u-joints, steering shafts for I-Beam and Independent suspensions. We also carry polyurethane bushing kits for sway bars, radius arms, axle pivot, and complete kits for independent suspension on Chevrolet P30 chassis vehicles. For 1973 and on Chevrolet models we also support Upper and lower control arms and all the components that are related including springs and the steering knuckle.

Ford E350/E450 suspension components include inner and outer tie rods, adjusting sleeves, steering stabilizers, ball joints and the polyurethane bushing kits.

Steering Components

Mill Supply is ever increasing their steering component line. We have added steering columns for the older 84-96 P30 GM models plus all the steering column components. These components include; dimmer switches, ignition switches, neutral safety switches, turn signal switches, upper and lower bearings and the actual gear shift. Plus for the GM p30/P3500 models we carry the intermediate steering shafts and u-joints.

Aluminum Exhaust

With the frequent stops and starts step vans make, the exhaust doesn’t heat up enough to dry out the moisture in the pipe, drastically reducing the exhaust system in your step van. Our aluminum pipes and mufflers are a great replacement for your original system. The aluminum can handle the moisture and greatly increase the life of your exhaust system. You can actually expect at least double the life out of our systems. In addition to being aluminized, the muffler is welded, not crimped as some other manufacturers do. The line covers GM years ranging from 1987 up through 2004 and includes V8, 350 c.i. gas engine and the 6.2 and 6.5 liter diesel engine. Mill also has replacement manifolds that are made heavier than the OE on Chevrolet and Ford.

Gas Tanks and Oil Pans

For the most popular engine sizes for Chevrolet P chassis and Ford E350 vans, Mill Supply has a variety of gas tanks and oil pans. Many of our gas tanks listed for Ford and Chevrolet also include listings for the sending units and straps to mount the tank. Mill realizes these are popular items that are generally replaced when the tank is out. Our tanks fit the Chevrolet and Workhorse chassis vans plus the E350 chassis Ford vans. Oil pans come with drain plug and the gaskets can be ordered as a separate item.

Brake components

Whether you are looking for brake shoes, pads, discs, rotors, spring kits, or complete drum assemblies, Mill Supply has the parts you are looking for. Our brake hardware includes parts for 16” and 19.5” wheels on the GM chassis P30/P3500 step vans and the Ford E250, E350 and E450 Super duty vans. When replacing drum assemblies, Mill Supply came up with a complete assembly for the Ford and GM step van chassis models. This not only saves you money but saves labor costs too. No more worry about backing plates that are almost rusted out, just replace the whole assembly in minutes compared to component parts.

Our disc pad line is Carbon Metallic, creating high performance brakes. These pads use multi-layer technology that will not only increase pad life but rotor life also. No more squeaky and overheated brakes when using Carbon Metallic pads. Each layer absorbs sound and vibration that isolates noise and increases life. Mill Supply carries most of the pads used on GM, Ford, International and Freightliner chassis step vans.

Bumpers

We designed our own rear bumper that is built-better, easier to install, more versatile, a better value and heavier duty than most original equipment. Our bumpers use a tough grip strut surface measuring one foot deep for sure footing. Loose debris and snow fall right through for safety. We include a rubber bumper impact strip on the rear for the many times these trucks are backed all the way to the dock and then stopped. These bumpers fit 35-1/2” and 42-5/8” frame chassis for the Chevrolet, Freightliner and early model Fords. We have included kidneys as a separate option for those who do not have their lights built into the back of the body.

We also have a variety of front bumpers to the different body styles. The front bumpers we carry can replace units on Fedex Ground trucks, dump bodies, beverage bodies, tractor trucks and more. These bumpers replace units on Grumman/Morgan Olson, Utilimaster, Freightliner, Navistar and the Union City Body with the Workhorse/GM chassis.
