torque converter cover

Does anyone know where I can find a Torque converter cover for a 88 Diesel C6? No one seems to have one not even the junkyards around here.

Is it different than the gas C-6? Or could you modify a gas cover to work? I am completely out of my knowledge here, but seems you could find something to modify?

Are you sure it is not an E4OD........ C6 has no cover in my schematic.

NOTE..... if the trans has large square aluminum webbing on the outside it is a E4OD

Yes there is cover/inspection plate on the c6. I have one out in the shed that was on mine before the swap to the t18. It is just a flat steel plate that goes up to the oil pan and down to the bottom of the bell houseing. The bolts that hold it in place are 1/4 or 5/16 I think and the holes are located around the outer edge of the bell houseing.

The C-6 does have the cover and its held in by 4 bolts. The cover is only unique to the C-6 diesel engine the gas covers will not fit. This reminds me I need one to I ripped mine off on a rock over a year ago.

That cool PLC7.3... all the books I have don't show one either. My problem is I need one for my t18. Seems everyone around here took them off and none of the yard trucks have one. I am hoping that the spare rig I bought has one on it.
