Re: Is there really NO ONE with a 400 valve cover sticker?

Thanks Andy. I'd guess those are a crate motor or at least a replacement motor.

I believe Bryan has found it! Thanks so much for the photos! Between those 427 ones and my original 400 photos, I should be able to do it. They appear to be the exact same style so far as I can tell.

Do you recall if the numbers or letters were embossed (raised) at all?

Thumbs up Re: Is there really NO ONE with a 400 valve cover sticker?

Your welcome man! I knew they weren't exactly what you wanted but figured they would help. The add doesn't say if it was a crate engine are not.
I'll keep my eyes open for you though!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

The sticker was definitely flat. Glad I could help. I would enjoy seeing what you come up with for a reproduction.

Those gold and black stickers are the generic ones that you can still pick up from a number of vendors.

Re: Is there really NO ONE with a 400 valve cover sticker?

Thanks again for all of the GREAT photos. I've saved them off and am about to start tinkering with it.

On the 1970 GMC 133WB mine was on the front driver's side, with the oil fill. The brochure above shows them on the passenger side.

I thought for a while someone swapped the valve covers at some point in its life, but they're not interchangeable are they? One has the breather and one has the oil fill.

If you think that's bad, you should see what my 2500psi pressure washer did to mine!
