I apologize but I can't for the life of me figure out how to post a question....so....I currently own a 1972 Chevy Cheyenne long bed truck, it came from Macon Georgia, on the tailgate the L in Chevrolet is upside down, does this give the truck more value? It looks like a factory mistake, but I am not sure. I would appreciate any help with this, thanks.

I'd have to see a picture to even half way believe that .

All I did yesterday was soak some hardware in Evaporust. I should have done this last year but somehow it got overlooked.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 
No, it hasn't been spun around, I have had a body expert look at it, it is a factory mistake, I am not kidding, I just was trying to find out if it gives the tailgate more value, with other antiques, factory mistakes add value, but it seems no one on this site can give me an answer, I guess that's what happens when your the chosen few who ride on the outhouse float in the parade....

No more need for the antenna so this replacement looks good. Down the highway at 70 and doesn't move.

Packed my wheel bearings, installed new locking hubs, and put on my freshly painted rallies w/new Goodyears.

I'm not fan of those rims but they look so right on your truck.

Yesterday my bed project is finally finished! Myself and a few other old guys are a little sore today. Quarter sawn red oak.

Painted my rims, manifolds and brake booster. A little bit at a time. One day it will be completed.

Its funny you mention that because I was really torn about if I'd like them but now that they're on there I'm pretty happy with them.

I used RTV silicon to glue the round gasket to the heater box, after test fitting it to my truck cab. :) (I am OCD on some things).

Put my new plug wires in to chase down a "phantom"fluttering. Next will be to replace my electronic conversion module. I think that is what's causing the problem.
Also, my son installed my new stereo setup yesterday. I've had everything but the amp for some time, but finally bought it. It sounds great.:metal:

A little trick i learned might help you here. Rub a little vaseline around that rim lip to prevent paint from sticking there. then clean it up with degreaser when youre finished. Looks good though.
