Not especially though I only know 71ish Chevy. Years ago an outfit was selling bumpers, they looked nice, I don't know if original. That reminds me to measure the gauge of the rear bumper I've got. I don't know if it's original but my fronts might be for comparison? If I remember right fronts are 3mm-ish.

They tried to tell me they pack their compressors well It's basically two universal foam pieces too big for the compressor, um, and the box is too big? hello! Can't blame them for attempt to save themselves I suppose, how about don't allow that to happen? I shipped it out in a large flat rate, padded tight and wrapped the entire thing with tape. Better than........


After thinking about it and calmed down, no way I'm sending this back, assuming it still works Better to just touch it up. They can adjust their price accordingly, and no way I' paying to ship the condenser either way.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
