Jimmy Engine
Well finally got the new engine replaced. Along with the trans and transfer case rebuild. Here some pics. Does anyone know what color paint pen they used at the factory to write the body color code on the firewall with. I copied all the orignal paint marking I found and would like to put them back on. Maybe next year do the frame and stuff. Want to drive it alittle bit before the snow flys.

Re: Jimmy Engine
Pretty sure my 205 was red oxide primer when new.

Re: Jimmy Engine
Looks great! Here's one thread that shows some example firewall marks: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=144648
Curious if you plan to use the heat stove that was around the LH exhaust manifold. If not, I'd buy it for use on my blazer build. Thanks, Pete

Re: Jimmy Engine
I believe those markings were made with grease pencils, not paint pens.

Re: Jimmy Engine
Very clean work. Nice job. Obviously the firewall markings were done at the factory on a wide open firewall before any installation. Trust me when I tell you, it will be difficult to put the markings on there with the engine and firewall mounted components in place. Some of our markings got smudged late in re-assembly and I elected to "erase and replace" the affected markings...and it was a challenge. The best way is on a blank tub...just like they did it originally.
...more pics please. Quality build.

Re: Jimmy Engine
Here is my firewall marks. They are hard to see and may not even help you but since our color is the same, thought it might be a start.

Re: Jimmy Engine
My 71 has a couple of different colors of grease pencil. I will attach a few pictures. Firewall, a/c compressor, front frame horn, and gas tank.
