Engine compartment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sigsauer · 03-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Does anyone have photos of an original engine compartment or a restored to original compartment for a '72 CST. I just finished detailing mine and I want to get the decal placement correct. I still have the firewall markings in mine, but everything else was gone.

Couple guys on here that have original stuff, should be posting up shortly. Wes always has good shots

sigsauer · 03-04-2009, 10:07 AM

Thanks Jaro.
It appears my photos are too large to be uploaded. I'll try again later
I know where the air cleaner decal will go, but I'm unsure of the proper placement of the others.
Searched the web without luck.

Thanks

Welcome to the board from Seattle.

Here's some pictures of my stock engine compartment.

Now, let's see pictures of your Blazer!

sigsauer · 03-04-2009, 11:38 PM

Thanks Bouncy!

Is there a decal on top of the radiator or where the hood latch meets the support?

Here's some photos of the truck. The engine photo was taken after my detailing of the compartment. I just purchased dog dishes (blue bowtie)and will mount up the BFG's on white 15x8 steelies that are on order from Stockton Wheel.

I plan on cleaning up the rallys and maybe powdercoating them.

If anyone has a line on an original dealer equip roll bar, I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks

bouncytruck · 03-04-2009, 11:49 PM

Beautiful truck & love the color!

I'll try to take a look tomorrow and see if there is a sticker there - I can't remember.

sigsauer · 03-04-2009, 11:51 PM

Thanks!
The color is somewhat familiar isn't it.
Hey I got the dog dish/steelie idea from you!

bouncytruck · 03-05-2009, 12:54 AM

I think Chevy gets the credit for wheels...

**jaros44sr** · 03-05-2009, 09:02 AM

Beautiful work on the restore, they look great when they are done that way...Thanks for loading up the pics. enjoyed looking at them and they are always good for reference to someone else. What does the interior look like...Once we get pics., we always want more

There mite be decals for emissions or tune up info in that area but don't know for sure

What part of NY are you from?

sigsauer · 03-05-2009, 11:27 AM

Jaros,
I'm in NYC, Brooklyn, and thanks for the compliments. I don't think I have any photos of the interior right now. I'm in the middle of detailing that also.

I know there were emissions decals and I think they go on top of the radiator support but I just want to be sure.

**jaros44sr** · 03-05-2009, 12:27 PM

Yeah, kinda thought that with your location being NY,NY. Well, you certainly do nice work, soooooo I'll be waiting on the pics. of the detailed interior

Decals could also be located on the fan shroud or inner fender, just don't know. I don't want to give you bad info.

sigsauer · 03-06-2009, 11:25 AM

Thanks

We'll have to get together when the weather breaks and do a K5 Philly cheese recon!!!

Jtrux · 03-06-2009, 12:21 PM

That's a great looking K5 sigsauer.

70 Suburban · 03-06-2009, 12:28 PM

WHEN I GET HOME TOHIGHT iLL SCAN FROM THE FSM.. BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE TOP OF THE PASSANGER FENDER. FOT TUNE UP SPEC. THERE IS ONE ON THE A/C COMPRESSOR THERE IS ONE ON THE CORE SUPPORT BY THE BATTERY FOR THE COOLANT . DEPENDING ON WHERE YOUR JACK GOES ON YOUR TRUCK THERE IS A DECAL FOR THAT. ALSO ON THE AIR CLEANER. IF YOU HAVE DISK BRAKES THEN THERE IS ONE ON THE TAILGATE TOP DRIVERSIDE CORNER THAT SAYS DISK BRAKE. OHH AND ONE ON THE WASHER BOTTLE TOO.OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD i THINK THAT ABOUT IT

**1970cstblazer** · 03-06-2009, 01:00 PM

I absolutely love your Blazer. My '70 will be completely as original when I am finished with it! So many of these fine machines have been modified. It is refreshing to find one that is stock.

70 Suburban · 03-06-2009, 01:05 PM

I AGREE. i JUST PURCHESED ALL NEW DECALS FOR MY TRUCK... i AM PROLLY GOIN TO HAVE TO SELL MY HOOD SPRINGS BECAUSE THEY POWDER COATED THEM GLOSS...ANYWAY

Great, give me a year to get mine dun

Lotta nice places to cruise down here

sigsauer · 03-08-2009, 10:54 PM

70 Sub: thanks for the info! I have the air cleaner, tune up and coolant decals. Where did you pick up the disc brake and washer bottle decal from?

70 CST: Thanks I appreciate it. This is my first K5, although I've lusted after them for many years. I've had a few original muscle cars in the past and kept them that way. When I found this truck, I wanted to stay in that same frame of mind.

72Levi · 03-08-2009, 10:59 PM

Let me load some pics of my K5 standby of my original decals...

70 Suburban · 03-08-2009, 11:06 PM

I would send pics of mine but I dont think it would do any good.. half the parts are hangin on the wall... I was at a swap meet he had them with him there. Ill get his addy for you ..Ill have to find the recept. He also has the 350 for the valve covers. I checked in my f.a.m. and it shows them there. He said to make sure you get the correct one for the a/c compressor there is a red label or a green one.

72Levi · 03-08-2009, 11:09 PM

I am 99% certain these are the original decals on my K5. I have three decals; the coolant decal next to the battery, the air filter one, and the one on the drivers fender.

sigsauer · 03-09-2009, 10:24 PM

Thanks Levi.
Where exactly on the drivers fender well does the emissions decal go? Closer to the top or to the steering box?

Thanks and I look forward to the address. I picked up the coolant, air cleaner and emission decals from LMC. I see they also have the disc brake, washer bottle, jack instructions and Tonawanda valve cover decals. Are these the correct valve cover decals for our trucks? No A/C on my truck, so I'm good to go!

70 Suburban · 03-10-2009, 12:58 AM

Mine are just gold with black numbers 350
