THEN & NOW: At home in 1957 where Danny and Art were first exposed to tool-making from their father’s business. Older and a little wiser in 2008, Dan and Art Danchuk still oversee all manufacturing at their company.

This latest catalog is also no exception to our philosophy of constant improvement. We’ve added more than 400 new parts to our already extensive inventory, making our selection of res-toration and aftermarket parts incredible, and our catalog the most complete in the industry. We’ve also added 3 new pages that lay out all the body styles available for each year, so there’s no confusion. Also we hope the handful of diagrams throughout

the catalog help make sense of sometimes, otherwise complicated installations.

Chevrolets have been a part of Danny and Art Danchuk’s life since the 1950’s. They say that the biggest influence in a boy’s life is his father; and an example of this couldn’t be more obvious or apparent than in the picture above. Both boys, Danny and Art, followed their father’s footsteps into the tool and die business, as well as acquiring his appreciation for Chevy’s. At their young ages, they had no idea that 50 years later they would still be reaping the benefits from the skills and hardwork that he instilled into them.

The Danchuks’ love of auto restoration prompted an entry into the world of Chevy reproduction parts in 1976. The initial response was so overwhelming, they directed all their energy into manufacturing only ‘55, ‘56 and ‘57 Chevy parts, and have been going strong ever since. Danchuk is now the world’s largest manufacturer of 1955-56-57 Chevrolet restoration parts. We achieved this title by bringing you parts that are superior to both the originals and all other reproductions on the market today. We take pride in producing parts that look better, fit better, last longer, are made in the United States of America and, of course, are competitively priced. Each year we add to the list of parts we manufacture and distribute, and this year is no exception.

For those who can’t come to Danchuk, Danchuk comes to you with our tractor and trailer. Manned by Dale Keesee.

And we are happy to say we continue to serve our custom-ers better with our Midwest shipping facility in Brownsburg, In-diana. We cannot be more pleased with the positive response we have received since opening this location in 2008. We can now ship to customers, in the contiguous 48 states, in a maximum of 3 working days, often in 1 or 2, almost without exception. So, whether you live in Rhode Island, Florida, Michigan, California or anywhere in between, you can order parts on Monday or Tuesday and get them in time to work on your project the coming weekend, without spending extra money on expedited freight. And not only will you save time, don't forget the savings in your wallet. Because Danchuk only charges actual shipping costs, and since most orders will be shipped a shorter distance, the shipping savings are passed on to you. Also, thanks to having two shipping facilities we should have no problem upholding our 24 hour or less turnaround time policy on order processing.

Make sure to come by and see us if you are ever in the Southern California area. We have a large showroom where we display our reproduction parts in a nostalgic setting. Plus, a second showroom where we house our fully restored Chevy Bel Air convertibles - all three years. We also have a Turquoise 1955 Nomad and the 1957 “Mc Ewen” Funny Car on display along with other collectibles from the Danchuk Collection . Also on display is a 1957 Chevy Bel Air which has cut-away body panels, parts, and all mechanical components so that you can visually inspect the inner workings of this American classic.

Our customer service representatives receive hundreds of phone calls per day. Not only do they take phone orders, they also offer friendly and knowledgeable technical advice as well as serve our walk-in customers.

The heart of Danchuk is the manufacturing department. Only after much research and documentation are complete is production begun by our knowledgeable production staff.

With such a diverse inventory of products being produced, extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes is a must.

Our ever-increasing inventory is cataloged and advertised by an in-house art and photography department. We publish a new catalog annually, quarterly newsletters and advertise in many national publications.Working together, we are con-tinually seeking to improve our service and product quality. We hope you agree that with Danchuk’s restoration parts, “There’s No Comparison!”

Manufacturing is what Danchuk Does Best!

There’s one word that truly separates us from the rest – manufacturing. Without our manufacturing plant we’d be just another distributor. Over the last four decades, starting with the Danchuk brothers and their dad, Danchuk Manufacturing has perfected the art of tool, die and parts manufacturing.

Today, we use a combination of state of the art and old school machinery to turn out the precision tooling required to produce parts so perfect that they can rarely be distinguished between a reproduction and the original. As a great many of our customers have told us, “the easiest way for us to tell your parts from the originals is that yours are better”. The quality of our tooling, materials, and craftsmanship make that statement true. We know that without first class tooling a quality part is near impossible to produce. When we say that we make our tooling from scratch we mean just that. We literally start with nothing but an original part, and begin the design that will eventually become the finished products.

the DesignThe design process is as important as any other step. If the design is off, the tooling and part will surely not be right. We start with a perfect fitted and tested original part and from there we start down the long road to the manufacturing of the tooling. Whether we are making a complex multiple step stamping die tool like the ’55 & ’56 grills or cutting a precision cavity in a piece of solid steel to produce a Class-A injection mold to make parts like the ’57 grille bar, we start the process the same. Once we are sure we have a perfect original we then use state of the art computer programs to digitally draw the part in a three dimensional form. We then use that drawing to design the prints that will be used to make the tooling.

toolingOur tooling facility combines the technology of brand new state of the art machinery and classic old school set-ups. When duplicating a 50 year old part, many times the absolute best way to make a tool is with vintage technology. By combining modern CNC’s, Digital Read Out Mills and the like with classic duplicators, lathes, grinders and a whole assortment of other machines and tools we can achieve the end result in our tooling that will allow us to manufacture the best quality American made parts possible.

MaterialsOnce the tooling is finished but before the manufacturing can begin we start with the best materials available. We use only top quality steel, virgin zinc for our castings, virgin plastic for our lenses and the best rubber compounds there are. It is because of our high standards for materials that all of our parts are of a superior quality. It is impossible to achieve consistent quality in plating with inferior metals or expect longevity in quality with cheap plastics or rubber.

ManufacturingIf you think the design and tooling is complex, time consuming and intricate you should follow the birth of a part through the manufacturing process. Just as with our tooling, we have found that the best way to control quality and achieve the perfection in our parts that our customers have come to expect and demand is by keeping as much of the manufacturing in-house as possible. That is why our manufacturing facility includes machinery like 300 ton stamping presses, plastic injection machines, stud welders, a paint booth and all the basics like mills, lathes, drill presses and the like. Manufacturing is the largest department in the company and uses over 15,000 square feet of our 73,000 square foot facility to function efficiently.

Quality controlOnce the parts are done in manufacturing we move them on to our highly trained quality control department where they are tested and inspected for perfection in both fit and appearance. We take the inspection of our parts very seriously and we think it shows in the product that we put out.

our gratitudeWe would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support, inspiration and input. It is through your needs and ideas that we decide which project to take on next.

DouBLe sourceD PartsThroughout our catalog on numerous parts, you may notice that we give you the choice between two versions of a particular part. What this means is there are two vendors, many times Danchuk and another company, that manufacture this item. Generally the only difference between a part labeled “Best” and a part labeled “Good” is the qual-ity, perhaps fit, and where it is made. We’ve labeled what we feel is the better version “Best” and the other version “Good”. Both versions should function properly and will always carry the same Danchuk guarantee. We do this so our customers have the option to choose the quality and price on parts available with more than one vendor.

Most 5-6-7 eXPerienceWhen you focus every resource you have on one single line of parts, 1955-57 Chevrolet only, you are able to easily become the industry leader in knowledge like we have.

We are proud to say that we literally have well over 100 years of technical knowledge in the 5-6-7 industry.
