Last week-end, I began the works on my Chevrolet and all the front of the truck was unsettled. We also took out the radiator, the engine and the transmission. About the front, the radiator is not the good one and the shroud and the radiator support/grill mounts are not there. Furthermore, the bracket on the base of this radiator support has been cutted. Finally, the hood is rust true at many place and not very rebuildable. Well, more works than foreseen but nothing hard to do for a G506 enthousiast.
Small anecdote when I unsettled the dash and the header inside the cab, there were incredible piles of mice dung mixed with pisses and pieces of canvas. The acidity of this mixture had begun to make rusty sheet metals. I understand why seats were full of holes. The next picture show me beside the truck and the temperature was really cold at the time of taking this picture.
Yesterday evening, I unsettled parts of the dash board and three data plates were still on the header. Unfortunaly, two of them (Shifting diagram and Maximum road speeds) are unreadable. The third one is in good shape and we can read "ANNISTON" in the upper line. In the middle line, it's write "US-AN 19957" (the number has been punched) and in the lower line it's write"ORDNANCE DEPOT". On this next picture, it will be possible to see this plate and maybe that somebody could give me explanations onto its origin.
