I wonder how much overspray is under the trunk..I pulled it in 1990 to replace hoses..no build sheet...

so it is anyones guess as to what kind of shape the rear brake hardware is considered to be in after 43 years...I see the parts have the original paint (58k miles)..also I tried to remove some silver overspray that took off the Lucerne blue...most likely after the car is painted I would touch up the sound deadner in a few spots and most likely painting over the original wheel well sound deadner to preserve the original texture in the wells...and just hit theframe with a bit of deadner overspray to dress it up...these are the problems you run into when restoring a car and trying to preserve originality..thats why low mileage true original survivior cars are better than a restored car...only original once

Hi Glenn, the rear end ID is on the passenger side facing towards the front of the car.
CMG is 4spd. GYG is automatic.
The next 3 numbers are the Julian date code
The next number is the shift
I think the last letter indicated the manufacturing plant which I think G Chevy Gear.

Good luck finding it. Show a picture of it when you find it.

one photo shows a stamp found on the drivers rear brake drum, another is the factory installed twisted rear seat belt,,the rest are just of the under carriage with the gas tank removed...I call this the poor mans garage as its quite obvious (and dangerous when I am here)..no lift..etc...I was not expecting a full tank of gas (I don't smoke either)..and luckily I did not break my rear window.no damage to the tank either...note to self..get rear window installed ASAP...some of these hoses are original as they have silver overspray..so I know a few of these clamps are original..the passenger outer wheelhouse was replaced..I plan on prepping the inner wheelhouses. seam seal. then undercoat...and leave everything else untouched
