'67 327 valve covers and air cleaner housing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Friends,

I have a '67 C10 long Fleetside that came from the factory (according to the SPID) with a 327. When I bought the truck, the engine had been replaced with a 305. The air cleaner housing was an aftermarket, ill-fitting, cheap, chrome piece and the valve covers looked like those from a typical 305/350. I would like to replace those items on my truck with the correct ones. I'd like to put a 327 back in it, too, but for the short term, I would settle for correct appearances. :-) Until very recently, I thought that all 327s had the distinctive, vee-indented valve covers with the raised center section for the 327 sticker. In the last few weeks, I have begun to question that. Could any of you share a photo of a '67 pickup with a 327 you know to be equipped with the original valve covers and air cleaner housing? I'd sure appreciate having the straight scoop!

I know the ones you are thinking of (ie: '64 Impala 327/250-300hp etc)....I'm pretty sure those were just for the cars tho'. The trucks, to my knowledge had a less decorative, more standard style...as shown in the pics by the guys here.

All Good
