I'm building my 72. Once it's done I'll be putting the 67 68 fender badges on it. Not original to the year but I really like the look. Haters can hate 😊

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

I think it would look good! I love those fender badges. Customize it the way you want it. That's what I'm going to do too.

@billybuilds 11 месяцев назад

Hey looks good and budget friendly. Awesome video. Can't wait to try this!

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

I appreciate it! If you don't have a hot glue gun, clear silicone would work great as well. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Hey there Chad, cannot thank you enough for all the tips. I'm making my way through all of the videos. One thing I do not see yet is how to remove the various types of trim and emblems safely without destroying the clips, trim and paint. I'm talking about the belt line mouldings, grill trim, back of cab chrome strip, letters on the hood, fender emblems, etc. Would definately help me, might help others. Thanks again.

my plastic insert was cracked in a couple places so I laid blue painter tape over it and put it back in. Nobody noticed.

@ItsTheChad71 8 месяцев назад

@petem6291 11 месяцев назад

Chad you have some great ideas. I imagine. If you use the material that the truck lettering places use to cover the back of the emblem after you clean it that would last a long time . Just a thought ...

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

I think that would work good too. Put it on and cut it out with an exacto knife. Good tip!

@JuniperandSixth 11 месяцев назад

Hey Chad, love the C10 content! I'm sure you're busy with the building, but I thought an easy/valuable video would be building a tool kit to carry with you in the truck to take care of emergency repairs. Looking forward to seeing the building progress

@ItsTheChad71 9 месяцев назад

@kenlelon369 6 месяцев назад

AND, I got a 1970 C/10 that came with small jack and tool bag clipped in the side at the back of the cab. It's long gone by now and I was wondering, where can a feller find the tools/ bag to get this back together? Could be this a vid that needs to be done by an enterprising guy such as yourself! @@ItsTheChad71

@RobtheToonMan 11 месяцев назад

I prefer the blue in the grill . I was hoping to see how you put that 67 fender emblem back on. I mean to take mine off and I'm wondering if there's a way to do it without removing the fenders

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

OG blue looks the best to me as well. It is very difficult to slide your hand from the bottom or from under the hood to reach them. As you can tell, I have little bird arms which helps. Pulling the back of the inner fender down might be the best bet if you soak the bolts first. You have given me an idea for a video!

@Dave-jj4np 11 месяцев назад

Chad, thanks for all of the information that you have been providing. I have a question, 67 with west coast/trailer mirrors, when new were the nuts and bolts used painted or plated. Most of the trucks including mine that I see have everything painted white. Is that the way they came new? Thanks, Dave

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

Looking thru my info it looks like they came both ways, but the plated all rusted before the brackets.

@Dave-jj4np 11 месяцев назад

@@ItsTheChad71 Thank you for responding, knowing that some came unpainted I think I’ll go stainless.

@gladiator1192001 Месяц назад

Great video. But what about the engine size emblem. According to LMC, those emblems are an option but I rarely see them. What's your opinion. Thanks....Doug

@ItsTheChad71 Месяц назад

They started in 69. 69-70 they were under the C10 or Custom badges and then moved under the side marker for 71-72. I keep a bunch of them when I part trucks out.

@chevylandt.v 11 месяцев назад

@GMCTIM 8 месяцев назад

Chad ! Have a question you'll probably know ! Was the 66 C10 1500 the last year for wood bed floors ? I think so but another guy says NO ! Thanks for ur reply ! 👍

@ItsTheChad71 8 месяцев назад

It was not. Wood continued to be the standard floor in 1967 as well and was still painted black. In 1968 metal floors became standard with wood as an option through 1972 but would have been painted the body color. Hope that made sense.

@GMCTIM 8 месяцев назад

Thanks chad, guess I was wrong ! Was thinking 66 was the last year !.😂 win some, loose some ! 👍

@renewed7809 11 месяцев назад

Are the 67-68 grill emblems a similar dissembly process?

@ItsTheChad71 11 месяцев назад

The are more basic. They are metal and the studs are mounted on the back side of the bow tie. You just paint the front.

CHAD MY 1967 DOES NOT HAVE CHEVY ON THE HOOD HOW ARE THE LETTERS SPACED

@ItsTheChad71 10 месяцев назад

I have never found an answer to that question. I’ve seen guys take large masking tape or a roll of paper. Roll it onto another 67-68 hood with the letters removed and punch holes in the paper and tape. Then tape it onto the hood you want the letters and start drilling. Some after market hoods don’t have access holes for the nuts to tighten.
