Free Restoration packets
 

Just thought I'd pass this info along.

There's a company called MSX International that will send you a free restoration packet for your Chevy/GM truck (and probably car). The packet includes all the original specs for your vehicle (body dimensions, model #s, hp, torque specs, etc.). Everything about the original factory specs.

The packet also includes a "past model information" booklet (xeroxed) that includes the following:

Extended Storage Guide
Overview of GM Restoration Parts Licensing Program
GM Restoration Parts Licensees
Cowl Tag Guide Ordering
GM Performance Parts Publication Ordering
Gm Restoration Parts Reference Guide Ordering
Past Model Parts Suppliers
Automotive Publications
Automobile Clus and Museums
Sanctioning Bodies

Tons of parts suppliers listed.

Seems like a great resource. Just call them at 1-800-222-1020 with your VIN #, and they will send the packet in 4 to 6 weeks. Slow mail, but the price is right (FREE).

Hope this info helps.

MSX international???
That's the number to GM for the restoration packet.
There is a thead in FAQ on this, including where canadians can go to get there packets.

MSX International is the name on the packing slip that came with my restoration kit. They may just be a company that processes the orders for GM.

Should have known there would all ready be a thread on this info. Oh well, maybe It will be new to someone.

gonna try to see what i get! thanks for the info :metal:

I Know Ima Little Late But Do They Still Do This
And If So Do They Do It For GMC

Re: Free Restoration packets
 

This is new to me also. I would think they would do it for any GM car or truck including GMC. I am going to call.

Thanks for the info

That is still the GM Information Center number and I think it is unlikely that they still do this what five years later, but try if you like.

In all likelyhood they will just refer you to the Heritage Center. There you can download the data book specs. that were included in the package but not the fluff.

Just select for the drop down for our earlier vehicles.

"Chevrolet Trucks (All Models Not Listed Below) Show"

It is not complete however and this link has been posted here on 67-72 before several times I know of.
