my new 69 Chevy custom 30 flat deck
looking for help to restore this gem, apparently it was used in an apple orchard for 40 years, speedo says 33,000 miles(original?) 396 was replaced with 350, lots of interesting options, have a look at the build sheet (three originals found in the truck! ) ps,pb,full tint, pinstripe,dg4 mirrors, red cloth interior, big block 396
i am looking to restore(but keep original paint) :-) any help finding parts would be greatly appreciated , looking for orig. DG4 mirrors, hockey puck light lenses, original flat deck ,antenna, etc. does anyone have a source for a red cloth seat cover? |

Re: my new 69 Chevy custom 30 flat deck
I think 396's are around. Nobody wants them much, anymore. LS mania is so prevalent, and anyone wanting a big block wants something bigger than a 396...
I'd like to know more about that 69/70 in the background!!! |

Nice truck! Hopefully you go back to the big block! There are lots of options out there although I'm completely unfamiliar with your neck of the woods! Watch CL like a hawk and you may just run across something you can use. Right now there are some #049 heads and an intake on Vancouver CL. -klb

Re: my new 69 Chevy custom 30 flat deck
I like both your trucks! Unless my eyes are bad, both our 69's were made on the same day at Fremont. 12-05-68. Yours had a longer train ride!
