Found the protect-o-plate for my stepside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While cleaning out the interior of my 69 C10 swb stepside project I decided to take everything out from under the dash so I could clean, repair & paint the whole area and line it with sound deadener.

The glove box had a bunch of scrap & junk in it but one unassuming looking piece of paper I pulled out had 60's looking handwriting on it. I turned it over to see what it was and it turned out to be the back side of the mounting paperwork for the protect-o-plate. The plate was still attached & readable

The original owner was Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. of San Francisco. Pretty cool to find this and know the origins of the truck.

This and still having the SPID intact on the original special order paint color glove box door are kind of nice documents to have even if I am changing pretty much everything.

I inverted the image in the last pic so it is more readable.

Hey that's neat. A 4.11 and HD clutch makes sense in San Fran!

What was the special paint color(s)?

The special paint color was an olive green that Pacific Telephone & Telegraph had on their service trucks. Looks like an army truck with the saddle colored interior panels.
