original paint marks and writing(stamps),original finishes

Are you asking about the rod , or the flat plate piece the rod hooks on ?

 

the rod.../or both!!

 

this is a throttle cable from tim rife,s 72 flint convertible

 

here are some alt pulley finishes,not sure of car and plant,theres been some debate on why there were different finishes.heres where other people weighing in will provides valuable info for correctness.remember there were single and dual groove pulleys.

 

Flat part silver clear looking , linkage gold cad , no picture of that,, looks like yellow paint on the flat linkage

 

ok guys how about some original lower hood release latches,ive seen them black and also magnesium phosphate which is a dark charcoal grey,(looks black).original pics please build date and plant....please

 

'70 GS hood - Not sure what plant. Of course never seen but interesting.

 

wow thats is interesting....not sure what to make of it???

 

Here are a couple of images of the red stripe found on the hood release rod from either a 71 or 72 A body. Don't know what plant it is from. The rod colour is either natural metal, phosphate grey or a combination of both with a little rust for good measure. Contrary to how it may appear in the photos, it is not red oxide primer. What is interesting is how much area the red stripe originally covered.

 

Here is a shot of a Flint 72 washer hose. Contrary to the repro hoses, the yellow is really as bright as the photo shows and is much wider. The stripe is actually two stripes joined by a cross hatch pattern. The 70 hose stripes are thinner and not as vibrant.

 

Supposedly the '70 is less vibrant.

 

You are right Dano. Here is a 70 hose for comparison.

 

The red stripes were put on the rods to show which end goes up.

You can install them upside down but I believe there would be some rubbing.

Drive shaft markings 70 stage one 2nd week December 69 build automatic , and rear end pics same car

 

I know the parking brake pedal assembly is different compared to my Reynolds Flint built car and my other ‘70 cars built at other plants. (Forget what other plants) but they are completely different. Unless it’s an early late thing? Reynolds car is a very early car. By memory built 09/12/1969

 

Does your orig. rear still have any paint marks? I'd be suprised if not.

 

the differential I take is what you mean? I’ll look but from memory I would have to say no. Get back to you in 5 minutes

 

The original differential…is out of the car. Went all the way to Wa. State to pick it up along with some other original parts from the car. From Dave Knutson. That held some of the parts for his friend and then owner Dave Johnson. Who I bought the car from. It looks like this totally rust free rear end was painted at some point. So can’t see any paint markings at this time. It is an “ON” rear end. Do have the 4:78 ring and pinon stage2 gear set that’s all torn up. Don’t know what’s in this diff now. Never looked, maybe I will tomorrow.

 

Yes, interesting, but wonder why or what was the reason. I would think a sorce thing. Hence why I came to the conclusion of different plants?
