Had to pull the glove box out to remove radio. It's either original or NOS.

I didn't think it was right. Who sells a nice one-piece line?

Before you buy the line, how good is the fuel filter nut and the carb threads? Those famously get stripped by ham-handed filter changers.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Not sure. Some have used Inline Tube (inlinetube.com), others report issues with fit. I made my own with bendable tubing from the parts store, and worked for me, but you would have to do a little research and measurement to get right size and length, then carefully bend.
Example of bendable tubing with ends ....probably not right size, but an example from one of the parts stores https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c...ake+line&pos=5 |

Yeah, the nut on mine is glued in with J-B Weld. :/ I have a metal in-line filter on it.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
I clay barred the entire truck this weekend and started the 1rst application of carnuba wax. This black original paint is nothing if not amazing. Being single stage black paint that is 53 years old the oxidation was really light. Tells me someone, original owner, gave this truck lots of love.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
<sheds a tear> That's beautiful. I'd (jokingly) suggest an Ed Hubbs "True Flame" paint job, though. Look up his "Hell Camino" video for a great example. If I ever get in a position to buy another truck, it'll be black and I'll make it flame painted. Way too cool. What the heck, here's a link.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
I watch that video about every year or so, both for the music and the totally *****in' paint work. I had a '68 Skylark that I was going to paint like that El Camino, but while converting it back to Buick power from the 305 Chevy engine I had in it, I dropped the driveshaft on my head and got brain damage (true story). I ended up selling it for a stupid low price as a result. I see empty shells of my Skylark sold for more than what I got for it, as a complete running car, nowadays.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Which part are you saying to? I can have my family attest to the brain damage part. Like the guy in the Monty Python movie who got changed into a newt, "I got better".

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
All I saw was “this was a show car” then lots of sanding… It hurt my feelings so I stopped watching.
