Re: 1972 Build thread.
What is the part number on the steering stabilizer you are using?

Re: 1972 Build thread.
When I picked up my project it was a bit of a basket case. Looks like I picked up two wiper motors... but they are a little different. Anyone know why?
I am starting to go through all of my mess and figuring out what will be thrown away and what will be refurbished.

Re: 1972 Build thread.
Fwiw I believe the wiper motor on the left is identical to the OEM example I recently replaced (not in hand at the moment to compare). The harness plug has two slots for attachment - that on right shows three blades. Do you have the unique little conical screws that secure the motor to the firewall?

Re: 1972 Build thread.
Yup, kind of a basket case purchase. Doubles of random items.

Re: 1972 Build thread.
The tail gate hinges can be replated as assembled no sweat. I had mine clear zinc plated and these will be (are) painted to match the body like GM did. I had a NOS set powder coated orange and I used these on my k20.
My pop rivet gun is a cheapie from Home Depot.

Re: 1972 Build thread.
Picked up my motor today. Need to install the oil pump, pan and the rest of the covers... and intake. Hope to get the drive train in before New Years.

Re: 1972 Build thread.
Timing cover showed up today. Yes!
Still trying to figure out what kind of valve covers I want to go with. I'm having a hard time. ![]() Any suggestions....? I was thinking old school M/T covers in black.

![]() Yeah, it is either the M/T's or the gloss black chevy script. Leaning M/T's... I like the old school touch the M/T valve covers bring. I dont think I can do the T-handle hold downs though... I went with the slotted mags for that vibe as well. My old man told me that I need a big chrome barefoot gas pedal and a Mr. Horsepower sticker for my wing window. Lol. He is the same guy that put a 427 in a 55 chevy truck without any frame modifications. I remember him welding a chain to the frame and bolting it to the block instead of replacing the torn motor mount. That truck also had that sticker in the wing window. Childhood memories! Leaving it gold. Just something different. I'm suprised how much more gold the cover is than the oil pan. Milodon cover vs weiand pan. ![]() ![]() A lot of the bolts and little brackets in the suspension are the same zinc gold color. It started with the Offroad design heavy duty shackles arriving with that plating. I thought it was a nice touch against the black powder coat and paint. The Header and intake bolts will be the same color.

Re: 1972 Build thread.
Awesome!
You have a driver or a project? Let me know if you are looking for any parts. I will probably have extra stuff I need to offload as I move forward.
