Help with detailing my big block - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

super72bb · 01-06-2005, 02:20 PM

I was just wondering if anyone has some good photos of a factory detailed big block engine for our trucks. I am hoping to somewhat re-create the look of the way GM did our engines from the factory. Or even better, if there is any publications on this that you have heard of that would be great.

Thanks

Curtis

Here is the picture from the 1968 Chevrolet sales brochure. Basic orange...with a touch of black and silver.

Check with Rick's Camaro parts, I used them as the source for my vaccum lines- they are the correct white striped lines, they also offer Gm detailed PCV hose w/the 90* bend and I think Rick's offers the correct Ribbed heater hose and tower clamps at least that is where I got all of mine- the truck shop in Ca. offers Gm # radiator hoses and Ricks has the correct overflow hose for the rad. I dont know if you are going this far but I used all of this on mine and it looks like it rolled off the line, he little details push it over the top.
