Re: Need Help Finding Original 1969 Air

Quote:
Sooo... do you want the "air" for the 427 Camaro pictured or the truck?? LOL
LivRat -
WOW! The truck is more rare than I thought... it has a Camaro 427?

Quote:
I have some here and shipping should be reasonable...
How about a shipping quote to ZIP 37379?

Quote:
Wow! truck also has the Optional fiberglass front bumper AND Dogdish hubcaps Code BS2...M soh gellus
Good eye there young man! Only 401 COPO trucks were ever produced with the optional fiberglass bumper, Code BS1.

Quote:
Were good but not mind readers. Please specify 6-ply or 8-ply air.
ETsC10 - Good Question... I need 4 PLY tissue... er, I mean 4 PLY air. The 6-ply and 8-ply is reserved for the C-20 and C-50 classes only. Thanks for asking, and remember to phone home!

I think if it was compresed it would fit in a small flat rate box.
OldChevyGuy - The Concours de' Pigeon Forge show rules clearly state in paragraph 4, sub-paragraph BS, that "...all original air must be compressed, at a prescribed 32 pounds per square inch..." Problem is, I need air for all 4 tires. I would think it would take a LARGE flat rate box (32 PSI x 4 = 128 PSI, Pie are squared + Tires are round.

I just love the smell of April.
71blksuper4x4 - Must be that pesky April jet stream.

I assume you mean April 1969 air? I might have what you need. This 69 was parked in the early 70's and had big old gorilla tires that still had air in them when we found the truck. It is 3/4 ton air though, does that matter?
NOW WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE! I am really only needing 1/2 Ton, 4 PLY air from early 1969 (to comply with the build date of the truck). If you could verify the date by using the "olfactory inhale" method by letting just a touch of the air out through the valve stem (don't waste it, please), the odor of the air should be in the range of 64 highschool basketball tennis shoes, or the equivalent to 11 Large broken Easter eggs. Since I only need the 1/2 Ton air, you could leave 8 PSI (1/4 PSI assuming 32 PSI = 8 PSI) in the tire. Do you have 4 tires with 1969 air, or just one? I'm not sure about the 1970 air. I believe the federal government went to more stringent standards in the fall of 1969.
