Looking at the snorkel on my truck's air cleaner housing, I'm not so sure it's like the one you posted, after all. Is the entry on yours completely round? Mine is oval, and bells out to about 2-7/8" X 2-1/2". Pretty sure that it is the original.

Dmoore · 05-09-2022, 10:51 AM

Mine is oval with an ever so slight tulip.

It looks like someone added a few extras after it left the factory. But still lots of signs that it’s a legitimate low mileage survivor.

Yep, it's evident. In my opinion the truck would look way better without those front bumper guards! Thoughts?

Dmoore · 05-01-2022, 11:15 PM

This is from an August 68 brochure. Optional equipment. There's the headliner.

Dmoore · 05-01-2022, 11:18 PM

Another page

Dmoore · 05-01-2022, 11:25 PM

This is a 71 brochure. Those are the exact same handrails on the truck.

I'm a fan of the front bumper guards!

Dmoore · 05-02-2022, 02:26 PM

The new owner may want to sell them to you.

True, accessories are not listed on SPID. Either added when new by the dealer or, very often, the owner goes back to the GM dealership a year or two later and adds on what their neighbor has ( the Jones')

Boy, 5 pages of ooohs and aaaahs already.

Dmoore · 05-02-2022, 07:59 PM

I'm going to need a few items for this truck to return it back to 100% original condition. Where in the site can I post wanted ads?

The tags are the VIN and GVWR - they are on the body. The blue sticker with build date is physically on the door - but as Jim mentioned, his 69 did not have one so yours may not either.

Dmoore · 05-04-2022, 01:07 PM

I believe you are correct

**68bowtie** · 05-03-2022, 10:42 PM

Those are the “bright side marker reflectors” in the CST package I believe.

Thank you 68!

Dmoore · 05-04-2022, 10:50 AM

Talked to Accuride this am. They do not have the wheel I need. They are mainly a late model wheel seller. Or maybe I got the wrong guy? I found these guy's doing an internet search. Thoughts?

Go to your nearest pick and pull junkyard. Find a late 90’s E250 Ford van. The wheels will be stamped “accuride”. No need to spend top dollar from an internet seller.

Dmoore · 05-04-2022, 12:57 PM

Ok, On the suggestion from 72c20customcamper I just ordered 4 of these silver/grey 16 x 7 from Road Ready $93.56 free shipping. Cant beat that with a stick! I thought about the pick n pull thing but I don't have time for that. Pull em out of the box, install the valve stems, mount the tire, Road force balance em, install restored S/S hubcaps done.
