stock chrome valve covers on 72
Hey all,
Just wondering whether there was an option in 1972 trucks/blazers for chrome valve covers and air cleaner? My gut is telling me no, but I figured this would be the place to ask. I'm just finishing my 72 Blazer and thought I might dress up engine compartment with some chrome, but don't want to risk not being able to put collector plates on it. Thanks |

Re: stock chrome valve covers on 72
I've never heard of it, but I'm not an expert. Around here, it wouldn't make a difference for collector plates. The vehicle just has to be over 30 years old.

Re: stock chrome valve covers on 72
Wow, you have must have some really strict rules at your DMV.
I worked at a Chevy dealer around that time, and I don't recall seeing any factory chrome valve covers. That doesn't mean there weren't any, but I never saw them if there were. |

Re: stock chrome valve covers on 72
I think your gonna need some paint. The rules in BC dont leave room for any modifications except factory options and safety upgrades like seatbelts and brakes.

Re: stock chrome valve covers on 72
Chevelles, impalas and such often had chrome valvecovers from the factory, if that helps!

Re: stock chrome valve covers on 72
Wow. I'm sorry for you guys. Although, I'm curious, how in the world are they going to know (within reason) what's original and what isn't as long as it looks stock?
