Cummins valve cover cover

Do they exist? I know the ISB guys can get the one that doesn't have Dodge on it, just wondering if us 12 valvers can get em too. My 97 is gonna get rebuilt from the bottom up, and I'm looking to spruce things up a bit. If a cover that only says Cummins is available, I'd like to pick it up as a finishing touch. Thanks in advance.

No. They only used that beauty cover on Dodges. The non-Dodge stuff simply had no beauty cover at all.

Well, now that I think about it...actually NW Custom in Spokane used to make stainless beauty covers with any kind of logo or script you wanted it to say, but they weren't cheap. I know they've been busy doing turbo building, but you can see if they'll still make you one. Their ph# 509-283-2171

i like the look of leaving the beauty cover off and either painting,powdercoating, or polishing the 6 covers. i made my valve covers and intake horn match the color of my truck

There is a vendor on another site selling these in a couple of colors. I know they dont have alot of them made up so I am not going to post the link. They are less than $150 from what I remember. I am getting in line for one .

If someone had a CNC mill with down time they could make a good deal of money ripping through some aluminum flat bar.

Whaat does "Beuaty Cover" mean in Mississippi?!?

Sorry. Couldn't resist. If you look at your rig closely, you'll notice that it has 6 individual valve covers. All hidden under the large cover that is being discussed.
