New SPID
I just wanted to thank Jeff on here for reproducing my new SPID. It looks great. My original didn’t have the clear film over it so I didn’t use one on the new one. Font, size, and color all look perfect.
Anyone need a replacement label email Jeff on here jeff@outintheshop.com

Re: New SPID
Jeff does superb work - looks perfect. 70 wouldn't have had the clear cover, so you kept it true to original. Am also glad to see you ddin't throw a YE9 on there just for grins too

Re: New SPID
There’s enough upbadged vehicles out there already. I actually removed the G60 option on the SPID because I removed it from the truck. But added the heavy duty cooling since I put in the monster 4-core radiator in place of the thin 2-core one.

Re: New SPID
It does look good. The one in my 67 has a little bow-tie with "Chevrolet" printed in it in both the right and left upper corners. I haven't seen one like that reproduced, but I am pretty sure it is original. ??

Re: New SPID
is there a way to get the SPID Information if a previous owner has removed it?

Re: New SPID
It depends on how many options you want on it. If you click on the link to Jeff's web site in 65Standard's first post I think it explains it. I've met Jeff in person at the All Truck Nationals in Riverside, Missouri. Really nice guy..... LockDoc

Re: New SPID
ya know, that's a good point now that I think about it, this has come up before, and others have posted pre-72 covered SPIDS as well, so I think there's enough examples out there to the contrary to disprove the theory. I doubt yours was added.

Re: New SPID
65standard, you new spid looks good, too good.
I suggest you pour a little tea on it, scribble a phone number on it, and put a grease smudge and greasy thumb print on it. Then it will look perfect ! Kidding aside, it really looks great.

Re: New SPID
Not only does Jeff do a great job on the SPID itself...He is a great resource and understands a lot of the idiosyncrasies of the different assembly plants and their SPID tendancies. We are building a truck now where the SPID was gone...I really enjoyed the process of making a thoughtful and correct SPID with Jeff. He's knowledgeable and easy to work with. He's a top notch guy and a real asset to this community.

Re: New SPID
Not sure I've mentioned this before, but when I was a supervisor on the line the guy that installed the SPID label (and the floor shifters and the cab running lights) worked for me.
I recall that the clear protective covers would come and go, even during the square body era. K

Re: New SPID
Thanks for the kind words about the labels. Very proud to say I have been helping guys (and gals) since 2004 with SPID's and have never had anyone that wasn't completely satisfied with what they received. I really do enjoy the process and working with people to get it right and feel that a correct label really tops off a restoration and I'm always proud to play a small part.
Jeff
