Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
Do you mean to tell me that the writing on the firewall comes from the factory?

Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
Here are a few photos of small blocks from the GN Tonawanda Engine Plant. Obviously have chrome for the Hi performance applications but it will give you an idea of pulley, fan, exhaust manifolds, brackets, etc.

My 70 C-10's firewall has a "B" in the upper right corner, seen in the picture below for the Baltimore assembly plant. The "635" was the job number ( or line sequence ) . . . . |

The yellow sticker just describes what transmission, cab and maybe a few other things too. I have always thought it might be so they would know what engine to pull from the "shelf" without looking at the pad on the block. . . . . |

Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
One thing to keep in mind here about GM and their trucks in that era is that they weren't those most notorious bastions of consistency on a plant by plant basis.
So what is truly original can be disputed forever in specific areas of build methods or parts. If they had to substitute stuff or improvise methods and parts on line to keep things movin'...they would. So what might have been painted a certain color at one plant may not have been painted at all....or the same color at another plant. All good Coley;) |

I had strange markings on the side of my block before I cleaned and repainted it. Looked like something spilled or smeared (UFO crop circles) on the side of the block, then I turned it upside down; TAX.
Guess this mark was added during the engine building process? |
Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
Just curious, is a 1970 TAX 255HP 350 a 2 or 4 bolt main bearing cap engine?

My 67 427 Corvette had a "IQ" sticker on the front of the passenger's side valve cover, like the one pictured below: . . . . |
Re: Factory Correct Restoration Details
I'll make a small contribution. '72s use 12 point bolts for the hood latch. My '69 was unmolested and had 6 point bolts, so I'm not sure when they made that small change.
