Ha, no kidding. First time he came in he had a young gal with him, who just sat in the VW. Could have been his daughter, but I'm guessing his mate. Roberts was a very cool cat.

I had the opportunity to meet a lot of 60s-70s celebs. My father, and my mother's uncle were in the business. That was back in the day when "Hollywood" had some integrity. Today they're primarily snowflakes and hypocrites

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
