Labels

[Guest]

I"m looking for Engine starting label, for 1972, which is a nylon cloth label
for the sunvisor. Also the engine suffix label ? and one T-3 two prong headlight. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Labels

I don't remember any source for the visor label... Methinks some have 'borrowed' theirs from an equivalent Chevy passenger car sitting in the scrap yard.

On the 3-digit engine suffix labels, that's come up SEVERAL times before and you'll find threads on it in the archives. Bottom line, NOBODY reproduces these for sale commercially...

Occassionally, you'll find a given part that's simply not available to those who simply want to make a phone call and write a check. These are usually minor items that the clever and the dedicated challenge themselves to hand-craft a solution for.

Re: Labels

I know several people have worked on making the visor label. In fact, we looked at a sample somewhere a couple years ago. (Maybe Stan or Chuck remember the meet.) It was the best we had seen, but I don't know what has become of the effort.

A warning about getting one from another GM line: Some of them vary in size and have different part numbers.

Tom, Osborne reproductions make the label for the visor, I brought mine a few years ago for my 72.

Also, I Do not know if Patrick Hulst is still making the labels for the valve covers but he made mine and went through judging without a hitch. send him a PM.

Jack, The only application that I found in the junk yard was chevrolet pickups. I have quite a few that came off of them,however the problem is getting the label off of the donor visor in one piece to say nothing of getting it off in nice condition. I haven't succeeded in that endeavor. RS
