  4. Clamp at the base of the steering column not painted

On the upside, I do what appears to be factory writing on the firewall..

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if those items had a "natural" finish.

The steering column and hood hinges especially.

I know that most of those items you mentioned would have been natural on a '70 Corvette.

Maybe someone else will post some pictures of an engine compartment when it WAS new.

The picture below, is the only other clear picture I have of the blue C-10 with 80 miles
. . . most of the others are just a screen save from the video that is no longer available.
It does show the rare "8 350" valve cover sticker that I'm going to have duplicated this winter for my truck.
