This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I owned and sold to a good friend an original 1969 gs400 with 39 k miles that had pearl white interior, and it also had white a pillar covers.

    George,

    How could you tell the car has a TH350 trans crossmember? What's the difference between the TH350 vs TH400 crossmember? :confused:

    I am not sure of the exact time-frame, but there was a change in white interiors sometime late in the 1970 model year. Eventually the A-pillar caps, the wind laces, the headliner, and the interior sail panel "ear muffs" became black. Most of the '70 cars I have seen had these items in white. I can only speculate as to the reason for this change, but Ralph Nader was still trying to protect us from ourselves at that time. White could have caused glare, thus the eventual change.

    I restrict my comments to the Skylark and GS as I cannot attest to this being true for all A-bodies, but the '70 Chevelles with white interiors had these Items in black.

    Jim- are you refering to 1970 and UP A-bodies or ALL A-bodies?
    As one of my former 'orignal owner' 68 GS 400's had a WHITE interior with WHITE padded covers. A 69 GS 400 I know of has the original pearl white covers....
