Spray Paint Removal From SPID - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

combat72 · 11-23-2011, 10:17 PM

Great site, learning alot about these great trucks. You can see my problem. 1970 CST with the SPID some what painted over with black spray paint. I would like to try and remove the paint without messing up the SPID. The SPID is not covered with plastic. Any suggestions??

1) Keep that original glove box.
2) Have ChipFlyer make a new SPID.
3) Put the new SPID on a replacement glove box door.
4) Enjoy!

No hope for that one, get a new one made.

Check out the link in Jeff's (chipflyer) signature. Do just like DANTIP says, get another door, save the old one, and put the repro SPID on the other door. Jeff's SPID's are amazingly accurate, the font is perfect. The font is not something you can simply replicate in word, it is a special font.

My goal is to try and see what options it originally came with. I can make out some but not all. Will definitely put a new one on but need to know what to put on it.

Are you able to take some up close pics of the spid?

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 12:14 AM

Have this one but can take more if needed.

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 12:17 AM

Would the ink from the options be visible from the back side if I removed the SPID?

chipflyer · 11-24-2011, 12:20 AM

Can you make out any rpo numbers or any of the descriptions? Can't see anything from that pic, doubt you would see anything if you removed it.

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 12:24 AM

One more. Yes I have been able to make out about 9-10. Kind of piecing them together based on what I can see.

chipflyer · 11-24-2011, 12:27 AM

list what you can see

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 12:29 AM

I'm thinking the following:

Option No. Description
F51? HD Shock Absorber Equipment - Front & Rear
F60? HD Front Springs
603 or 604? Black Vinyl Trim
G50 HD Rear Springs
M49 Turbo Hydra-matic
U08 Dual Horns
Z53 Ammeter, Oil Pressure & Temperature Guages
Z84 Custom Sport truck
??? Black Door

chipflyer · 11-24-2011, 12:38 AM

looks like truck was originally red? was it two tone? which column was the one you can't read in, left or right and is it the bottom one?

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 12:56 AM

I think the truck was originally Orange. Was a LWB that got cut down to SWB. Kind of a hodge podge of things but I knew that going in. Can't really make out the RPO Codes in the left hand column. Can make out some in the right hand column but can't see much of the description. Ink is also faded really bad. Trying to piece together based on RPO Code list and what I can make out.

chipflyer · 11-24-2011, 01:08 AM

Maybe this?

f51 frt & rear shock abshhhhhf60 HD front springs
g50 HD rear springhhhhhhhhhm49 turbo hydra-matic
u08 dual hornshhhhhhhhhhjhz53 amp-oil-temp gauge

combat72 · 11-24-2011, 01:37 AM

Chipflyer,
I appreciate your help on this. In looking at it closer I'm seeing the following:
Option # Description
??? ???????? Engine
??? ???????? Doors??
??? Rear Step Bumper EQ
??? Custom Sport Truck
??? Black Vinyl Trim
G50 HD Rear Springs
M49 Turbo Hydra-matic
U08 Dual Horns
Z53 Ammeter, Oil Pressure, Temperature
?65 Black ????????

You could be right on the 565 color combo. I can get the Option # based on the description but I just can't see it on the SPID.
