NV I'm looking for these OEM parts for a 71 Chevy - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

From what I have read here, they were only called out on the SPID if the truck was ordered by the government...which would mean to me that they were installed by the dealer otherwise. I have found them on 72's, 73's (73 is common if you search threads here), and vans. I run them on my 72 and my 68 in the position to the left as shown in the "factory" pic. It is a tight fit, but clears just as well, and serves a great purpose. Here is a setup I pulled from a 72 that I am saving for any future needs. It also has a warning sticker attached. I would like to think the sticker has been there since day one, since the truck was very clean and well cared for, making it very rare (LOL

)...but it is over 40 years old and highly unlikely.

Good information Zep....... Don't know where else you'd find a sticker like that. It looks original anyway.

By chance do you know why these "stock" brackets appear to hang differently? Between this thread and the one per the link below, some brackets are square with the bottle while the bracket slopes downward in others.

Say, did you ever find a set of Big Block valve covers? I have a set on my '71 Cheyenne Super that I'm going to be pulling off, and replacing with factory Chrome ones with drippers, which means I don't need the painted ones. If interested let me know in this thread. Thanks, Mike.

Definitely interested. Another poster may provide picks for his set as well. Makes me wonder if the valve covers currently on the engine have the drippers. The heads are off a 396, couldn't tell you what year it is, but the valve covers came with.

Thank you.

71 Chevy 1/2 ton, short/fleet, 2wd

OEM and straight metal only...rust not a concern.

1. 12-bolt differential cover. FOUND

2. 402 Valve covers using the push-on rubber oil cap. POSSIBLY FOUND

3. Paint separator moldings (wraps around the cab under rear window). FOUND

4. Original coolant overflow tank and bracket. I believe these sat on the LH side of the radiator. Reference to a stock reproduction is appreciated. MISSING IN ACTION

Note: If anyone can educate why/if there are two different "original" brackets It would be appreciated. I've seen two "originals". When mounted, one bracket is square with the bottle. For the other, the bracket slopes downward against the bottle. I'm mostly certain the one slopping downward is original. I believe both types use the same bottle. I've never seen the mounting plate for the bracket that slopes downward, so can't say they're the same.

Say cheyenne10, your inbox is full. Note: You can save what you need to a another folder by:

1. Create the folder from "Edit folders" option located your "Private Messages" page. Make your changes and click "Save Folders".

2. Click the check boxes for the messages you want to save.

3. Locate the "Selected Messages" option and be sure it reads "Move to Folder". Then click "Go".

4. Select the folder you'd like to save them to and click "Move Items".

Still interested in those covers.............Thanks!
