Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
Taking a drive up to Nashville from your place would be a awesome ride. You guys have some great scenery to drive thru. I hope someday I can make it back down there and take more time.

'67 Chevelle. Eric can chime on it, but it was his folks' car. It is super clean and super sharp and super original. Marina blue on blue.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
Chevelle, Malibu, 283, 3 speed on column. It was my mom’s birthday present in ‘67. Brought me home when I was born, my brother and I drove it in high school, and my daily driver now.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
Ok...sorry guests arrived early. Over now, let's keep going.
So with all the major paint/polish done, we turned to getting things ready to marry up. Couple of minor checklist items and then we got the roller loaded up to head to Eric's and Eric got the bed off the rotisserie and the cab back on.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
Rotisserie made it high enough that we didn't even have to remove the shifter.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
And now the cab is finally married up. Pretty exciting day for us really. Now we can focus up on final assembly. A few things left to hunt yet...but glass arrived today, so that fight is forthcoming. May not be super soon though because Precision seems like they're gonna be a little slow on delivery. Ordered rubber the same time I ordered the date coded glass (and you see which one arrived first).
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope it's a good one. Already pretty darn good here.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
How exciting. Looks superb as usual.
I didn't see it, but do you have the often missing spring clip to keep the power steering hoses together?

Thanks! Don't have an original one, but it's on the ever evolving punch list. As close as we are, there's still a fair few things I don't have on premises yet. I'm on the verge of starting a WTB thread with a couple of loose end bits and bobs on it. One of the things that I'm most annoyed that I don't have right now is the master cylinder bail...coincidentally another piece of bent wire.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
You are seeking GM 3874661, and only one is required per the parts book:
The Parts Place sells a repro, which other than the plating looks like the one on my 1970 Blazer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/35042469509...Bk9SR-6m3ML-ZA

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
That's a Christmas gift. Thank you. Chopped that number in the search bar and a nice and shiny new NOS bail was on eBay waiting for me. Already on the way! Teamwork makes the dream work.

Do you have a closeup of how you routed your hard fuel line around the AC compressor?
