Not sure why, but I didn't get it. At any rate, I sent you a couple PMs. One includes my phone #.

Thanks

hardwaycooke, I sent you a PM. Thank you.

Say, did you ever find a set of Big Block valve covers? I have a set on my '71 Cheyenne Super that I'm going to be pulling off, and replacing with factory Chrome ones with drippers, which means I don't need the painted ones. If interested let me know in this thread. Thanks, Mike.

Definitely interested. Another poster may provide picks for his set as well. Makes me wonder if the valve covers currently on the engine have the drippers. The heads are off a 396, couldn't tell you what year it is, but the valve covers came with.

Thank you.

71 Chevy 1/2 ton, short/fleet, 2wd

OEM and straight metal only...rust not a concern.

1. 12-bolt differential cover. FOUND

2. 402 Valve covers using the push-on rubber oil cap. POSSIBLY FOUND

3. Paint separator moldings (wraps around the cab under rear window). FOUND

4. Original coolant overflow tank and bracket. I believe these sat on the LH side of the radiator. Reference to a stock reproduction is appreciated. MISSING IN ACTION

Note: If anyone can educate why/if there are two different "original" brackets It would be appreciated. I've seen two "originals". When mounted, one bracket is square with the bottle. For the other, the bracket slopes downward against the bottle. I'm mostly certain the one slopping downward is original. I believe both types use the same bottle. I've never seen the mounting plate for the bracket that slopes downward, so can't say they're the same.
