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.

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.

there are some of those big truck mirrors on ebay right now. for 1965 prices too. I almost jumped on them. intill i realized how much of a pain they would be in a parking lot.

**clemdaddy** · 10-26-2011, 01:54 PM

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

Your message area is full and I couldn't send you a PM. I'll try again later but I would like a copy of the file. You did a great job and it will be a great addition to my truck since the original is missing. Thanks

**clemdaddy** · 10-26-2011, 04:30 PM

have emptied my mailbox if interested in the glovebox file, please e-mail me so i can reply with the file. it is a photoshop file and i will send as a layered pdf.
you should be able to modify with your option list and vin #.

thanks, clem

Very nice! SPIDs started in 1966 though, so it's only correct for that one year.

sigshooter · 10-26-2011, 09:53 PM

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.

**aerotruk63** · 10-26-2011, 03:23 PM

clemdaddy nice of you to share with everyone. The coffee stain thing is priceless!

pope · 10-28-2011, 12:53 PM

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...

I am not really sure what they mean, though the one forward the spring perches is most likley a date stamp.

**aerotruk63** · 10-28-2011, 01:08 PM

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?

pope · 10-28-2011, 01:13 PM

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...

**aerotruk63** · 10-28-2011, 01:19 PM

Is there more markings behind the spring?

pope · 10-28-2011, 01:44 PM

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.

**HOTFUN** · 01-18-2012, 01:26 AM

subscribed. Great info for us anal people.

Grill from my '64. I have some close up pics. I'll post more later. Got to go to work now.

1963c-10 · 01-18-2012, 03:34 PM

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?

DanSan c 10 · 01-18-2012, 04:39 PM

Cool info.

punk17 · 01-19-2012, 11:12 AM
