Period Correct Accessaries for your truck... - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One of these was actually still in my 67 with an added speaker screwed to the roof. I guess maybe I should not have tossed it. Just got to looking at the four holes I had to patch after removing the speaker and tossed the whole mess in my shop trash.

How about this? Since the original owners of Zooey (my C/10) were a Phillips 66 service station. This is for those who were not or aren't educated in Chevrolet engines or the C/10-20 or P/10-20 although yes, it does cover everything else from AMC, Mercury, Oldsmobile, VW for 1970. It tells you the firing orders, how and when to grease and lube em up too.

That is so cool ...

**70cst** · 02-23-2020, 07:06 PM

Just purchased this period correct CB Antenna

**70cst** · 03-06-2020, 04:25 PM

I just purchased a 1970 Interstate Map ...
The key is the printing of "Winter Spring 1970"

This gives a true date to match my truck.

**special-K** · 03-07-2020, 08:50 AM

That shows a period correct Shell station, too

Don't know ... It hasn't arrived but I will look.

The fact it was printed with 1970 was the key for me ...

**rechinca** · 03-07-2020, 02:25 PM

A little find in the Vintage section at the thrift store.

**70cst** · 03-09-2020, 01:06 PM

A like new Ribbed-Magnet Ray-O-Vac portable flashlight.

60-70' Period.

This should look right at home in the cab of my truck.

I like it!

**special-K** · 03-10-2020, 08:46 AM

That flashlight may be period correct and would be cool to see in the truck. But the sight of a flashlight from that era still heats my blood. I don't think I ever used one that would stay on longer than just as I was about to do what I needed the light for. Typical use went like this: Turn on, put tool on fastener, light blinks off, shake it and get light, put it on the work it goes out, repeat several times, then no light at all, throw light hoping you get to see it fly into pieces

Back then is when I discovered Kel-Lites which became Maglites. There was a rubber coated clip-in mount for those I used to have on the bottom of the dash of these trucks. I never threw another flashlight

The good news ... this will only be used for looks ...

Yes it does...I used to work at one just like that in high school, we had a rack inside that had maps for mostly the western states and a few nearby city maps all for about .10 cents each.

We also had the city map taped to the wall to look at for free that people would always stop and look at.

Old metal Pepsi cooler's not a truck accessory but a period item and the color was pretty close to '71 GMC Dk. Blue.
