66 sd gas tank straps


Just looking for some input about the original finish on the gas tank straps. I have some that are black finish and others that are zinc plated like galvanizing.

The ones on my 69 are original red primer but they are a totally different strap to a 66. thanks Stan

The rest of the undercarriage components are painted as follows: These varied from plant to plant and this is a basic acceptable guide. Again, Im not getting into bellhousing overspray, driveshaft stripes, transmission inspection marks or stamps,etc. which is for over restored concours type trailer queens.

 

  • transmission-natural aluminum
  • bellhousing-natural aluminum
  • transmission support- semigloss black
  • driveshaft- natural steel
  • rear axle-semigloss black
  • rear swaybar-semigloss black
  • rear coil springs-gloss black
  • rear control arms-semigloss black
  • gas tank-natural steel(shiny)
  • gas tank straps-gloss black
  • parking brake cables-natural steel

These tips are intended for Chevelle owners, but results will be similar for all 64-72 GM A- body cars  and Beaumont..wink
