1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration

[IronCanine]

Dave (DaHos) came through on the elusive 1970 K truck (with J70) oil fill tube. It was a nice example that cleaned up well. The rubber gasket came off a regular valve cover oil cap.

The style of oil cap that goes on this tube is kind of ubiquitous. I had a lot of NOS options available to me at reasonable cost (how often have you heard that in the last couple of years). But I don't know what the finish should be. This example has a phosphate finish. They put chrome ones on Corvettes (at least the higher HP versions). Dave did not have the OE cap. The pics of the original tube/cap earlier in this thread could be phosphate...could be raw. I don't think it was painted black.

We'll leave it as is for now, until hopefully more info emerges.
