Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
One thing i noticed on both of my trucks and even on some at the junkyard is a light lime-green-yellowish color under the black inside the hood. dont think its a coinsidence, maybe a plant specific paint scheme. srry couldnt get a good pic of the color.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I think I know what you are talking about. I'm guessing it's zinc chromate primer. For mid-year Corvettes, this yellow/green primer must be present in certain places in order to pass the rigorous inspection of their knowledgeable NCRS judges.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
after scanning a good original and retouching it, i have got a open ended file that you can add your option list to. not sure about earlier trucks but 64-66 used this on the glove box door. pm me if you want this file...
after printing on thin card stock i stained with weak coffee and sprayed with matte finish clear... looked great |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Very nice! SPIDs started in 1966 though, so it's only correct for that one year.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
These came with my Grandpa's 1965 ... the first is a SPID or list of all options that came with the truck ( what ever they called it in 1965 ). The second is a sheet where it was gone over at the dealer ( all fluids and pressures checked ) before it was turned over to my Grandpa.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Has anyone else seen these markings before? I touched the numbers up so that I could make a stencil to allow for reproduction after I re-finish my chassis...
[IMG][/IMG] I am not really sure what they mean, though the one forward the spring perches is most likley a date stamp.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
10-17-62. October 17 1962 the trucks would already be at dealerships for sale as 63's. Maybe the frame was replaced? Used to see rail cars loaded with frames headed to the GM plant in Ontario Canada. Stacked one atop of each other, inverted?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
That should be correct, it is actually a 63 chassis. The original cab was so rusted out I replaced it with the 61 cab that is on it now...

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
There is part of the upper left number that is covered by the hanger,and maybe some other digits. The white that is showing under the spring next to the hanger is actually plastic from a lable that was on the pack. I replaced all of the spring packs a few years ago and I didnt get all of the shipping lable off lol.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Hey Aerotruck63, what are the hood ornaments worth if they can be found? Im not trying to buy or sell one, but if I were to come across one, what would a fair price be for one in decent shape?
