Found the tag I've been looking for! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_C-30 · 10-12-2007, 07:54 PM

I knew somewhere tucked away in my shop I had an old Valley Chevrolet USA-1 dealer tag. I live in Valley, AL and I know my '69 C/10 was bought new at that dealership. I was digging through some stuff this evening and I found it. I had forgotten that it had the Taking Charge slogan, which IIRC, was a slogan used in late 70's and 80's. I wish that weren't on there, but still this tag has got to be more than 20 years old because Valley Chevrolet closed in 1987. Despite the later slogan, I think I'm still going to run it on my truck since it has local history. What do ya'll think? Would you run it on a '69 model?

67_C-30 · 10-12-2007, 07:55 PM

P.S. The tag cleaned up perfectly. The dinginess in the pic was dust and some kind of oily film.

Andy4639 · 10-12-2007, 07:57 PM

I would!

EyeH8the24 · 10-12-2007, 07:59 PM

corn · 10-12-2007, 08:12 PM

Cool score!

**Palf70Step** · 10-12-2007, 08:32 PM

I would run it for sure. That is a neat find!

Hey Travis! I actually think I've found several. I want 1 for myself, and Mike said he wanted one for his 4-4-2. The guy I'm getting them from said he thought he had 5-6, so if he does, I'll grab you one too. BTW, I'm using that gas tank I got from you in my '67 C-30 dually. Thanks again!

EyeH8the24 · 10-12-2007, 09:08 PM

sweet..hook us up...i still have several parts left from that truck if u wantthem ...think i have a deal going on the dash ..but as always..its free parts...do you have any 1 ton rears ? if so what ratio?

67_C-30 · 10-12-2007, 09:25 PM

Are you needing the narrower cab and chassis rearend or the wider dually pickup rearend?

EyeH8the24 · 10-12-2007, 09:30 PM

its a 69 flat bed truck ..have no idea what the difference is ..but it has some stump pulling gears..and get driven often ..

67_C-30 · 10-12-2007, 09:33 PM

I've got the rearend that came out of my '67 1 ton. It would be the correct one for a dump truck or flatbed. It's got 5.38's, so it was definitely LOW geared. Are you needing the low rear gears or are you needing more highway friendly gears?

**N2TRUX** · 10-13-2007, 12:01 AM

Yeah, I'll run it. Send it to....

67_C-30 · 10-13-2007, 11:37 AM

I couldn't stand it, I put it on the truck this morning! I think it looks pretty good.

**N2TRUX** · 10-13-2007, 11:40 AM

That's not my truck. I thought you wanted to know if "I" would run it.

Looks good...

I guess I'm gonna have to take it off and send it to you then!

My wife and I went to cruise in last in Opelika, AL and I actually had someone ask where I got that old dealer tag. He was familiar with the old dealership.

67_C-30 · 10-14-2007, 07:33 PM

I went to the old dealership building today and snapped a few shots. It was getting late in the evening, and they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. Here a few, and the rest can be found on the link below.

I've got a 70 one somewhere that I wanted to put on my Catalina.

powell72 · 10-14-2007, 11:38 PM

That is way cool, I love the old dealer stuff, especially when it's the dealer that sold your truck. I've been looking for some vintage Burt Chevrolet Englewood Colorado stuff, that's where mine was sold.

**N2TRUX** · 10-14-2007, 11:40 PM

Cool pics. Too bad they painted over the signs on the roof.

Do a search for denver_diva on Ebay. She has sells dealer stuff and has several tags from Courtesy Ford and Valley Motors both from Englewood. Maybe she has something. I only know this because I found the Valley Motors dealer plate looking for Valley Chevrolet stuff. Here is one of her auctions. You may just get lucky!

Thank you! I will keep an eye on her listings.

i,d spray 4-6 coats of clear polyurethane over it to protect it....

abebummy26 · 10-16-2007, 09:03 AM

I'm gonna put a dealer sticker from the chevrolet dealer in the town in Iowa I used to live in. My truck is from the southern Missouri. The dealer ship has been out of business since 1979. I know the former owners son though. He has the left over stickers. I'll put it on my truck as a tribute to his dad and just because no one else will have it. Its kind of funny though because his dad was still selling cars up until the time he died and that was 1988 so. It has been closed longer than I have been alive.
