It was what I had to do, so I tried it. No direction's out there that I'm aware of about it but it worked fine. You say 'feet rear-ward' as in facing towards the engine bay? Thought that was in the direction's as a mounting 'don't do'...? |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Well. it is official! With the purchase of a '70/'71 front bumper from Mike and Jen Neville (great people to do business with) I have all the years covered on my front end, except '69...'67 grille, and core support,'68 fenders, '70/'71 bumper, '72 chassis. I do have NOS van turn signal lights, which may be '69
Mike has acres and acres of used parts, they're moving 30 miles up the road a piece, so you might get a good deal on parts now since he doesn't want to haul the used stuff with him. He said that there still is alot of good used trucks in that area of the country. God Bless America! www.nevchev.net also a web site, but have to look it up Thanks BobbyK, for the idea of mounting driving lights in my bumper, gonna steal it http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...j/IMGP2147.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...j/IMGP2146.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
was it pricey for shipping that to you in PA?

OK, just checked! 25.00 for shipping |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Dang, Kurt, your right again! '72 outer front bumper brackets won't fit on a '70/'71 bumper!
The bumper is alittle tweaked on the drivers side (right where that blue trapezoid is), so I will have to pull it out when I get the new brackets. Chrome is in excellent shape for 40 yrs old Also found out that a factory console will fit between utility seats http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip050.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip049.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Give me an idea of how I find the right ones in my pile and I'll send you a set.
All of em are mixed together, I have no idea what's, what. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks for lookin', these are 18 1/2", so it seems I would need brackets in the 20-21 inch range, or bigger dunno.
If you happen to come upon a 'L' bracket I could use that as well, bought one, but it has a 90° angle and I need more of a 45°. No big deal ifyou don't have one, GMC Pauls has repop Thanks for passing it forward http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip051.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip052.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip053.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Go take some better pics, so I can see 'clearly' the shape of them...please.
I have two different sets, one set measures 20"s end to end & the other is 22"s. Need your snail mail addy too when you get a chance. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Seems a bit congested behind my water neck, so, planned to move it to the passenger side head...easy right! Snapped the extension at the detent ball, guess that's why they are called (disclaimer, no product referrance intended). Can't believe I don't have a tool to get this plug out, guess it's time for heat, and or PBblaster

Re: PO has me PO'd
Does that say "S-K" on the side? I've snapped or otherwise tiwsted off SEVERAL of those 1/2" x 3/8" extensions of various brands, but never a Snap-On. It's kind of my personal challenge in life to someday find a way to grenade a Snap-On product with my bare hands. I'm beginning to think that particular ambition will go un-fulfilled.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jim, I had to replace an alternator and the pully was wrong on the new one and the correct one was rusted tight to the old alternator. The guys at the local Checker/O'Reilly sprayed some new (to me) stuff on it that froze the metal. Pretty soon it was off using hand tools.
I don't remember the name, but the can was white and light blue. It made a believer out of me. I bought a can on the spot. I'd run out and look at it, but its at home and I've been working in Detroit the last 6 weeks. Good luck getting it out. Doug |
Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks for the heads up Doug, will have to try that with a combination of better tools I've used bearing stretchers, but never used cold, makes sense, just opposite principle Gotta go back and change my 'Snapon' comment, before Tynee yells at me again:lol: |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I would never yell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: That was much funnier with my caps lock on. I didn't realize that the board wouldn't let me yell. Hmm... |
Re: PO has me PO'd
One set of front bumper brackets that vtblazer posted are for 2WD and the blue ones are for 4WD. I don't know if anyone noticed that. The 2WD brackets will not work on a 4WD truck. WES

Yes I did notice the differance, but keeping that information at the forefront is important to us all. If Coyote had read my threads he would have realized I have an extra set now, but he is buying a set for 45 from 6T727T2. |

Had some time to kill at work today and reviewed your whole thread - what did you use in these pix to coat the A pillar and rocker - brushed on Rustoleom?
I want to smooth my rocker into my A and B pillar so I will be using a skim coat of filler to clean up the ends a bit...or is there a better product to use [metal lab]? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=315 I have my door off now - and wanted to paint it - but it isn't warm enough for me to do it now...soooo I guess I will have to yank the door and fender in the spring to get it painted the right way - I hate lining up the doors and fenders...:( |
