do I save build #s on firewall?
 

I think the #s and markings on firewall are from assembly, does anyone bother trying to save these, I am going to get this truck out of storage soon, put some newer Michelins on it and clean it...... it may never be concours restore or anything but wanted to know someone elses thoughts.

thanks,kent

^^ yep, that's what I did for some chalk writing on the underside of the hood. I knew it would come off when I was doing my initial cleaning of the engine bay.

Tkae good pics so you can put them back when you are done.

I agree with the pics but I only see putting them back if the truck is a concours resto.

I say put them back if thats what you like.

thinking it through more with all your help, I have decided to leave them on and work around them as long as I can......... thanks,kent

my truck has them as well. I have hit them pretty hard with the pressure washer and they still exist quite readable. maybe try some dish soap and a wash rag for that area and then mask it off with a drop cloth before the blasting.
is this "little buddy's" truck?

bring over the pressure washer, I could use it on my driveway and also for the land cruiser.

Concours d'Elegance restorations only. Take pics and then trace them using clear mylar to be exact. You never know if they will be of some value to the new owner some day. It will increase his perception of value if you retain them in your restoration file.
