you know i wonder if we could do a thread of our documentation sheets but with the critical information blocked out?

lots of little things on there that others might find interesting?

Now that Strato Chief is cool. Looks like it could be saved. Anyone?

Todd!! It is on the way to my stable!!!! That is why I got the documentation done!!! I have another '68 Chief here as well......... Parts only for this one....

Vincent, glad you are saving it. Big block no doubt? Build docs from GM are helpful; I'm planning to build a 68 Chevy to similar specs - just as soon as I find the right 68 Biscayne body - 2 or 4 door. I have all of the HD police gear plus the big block parts. Know of any out your way that are not rusted to the ground?

Hillar, I'm not buying anything just now; I thought I might be able to get the build details for my 62 Parisienne but it looks like detailed info is only available for post 64 models.

Now, if I can find an affordable 67-68 big block SS Impala convt, or a good 68 Biscayne sedan, or any 67-70 big block Chev/Pontiac B body wagon at the right price, one of those I will buy.

Vincent, what is this 68 RCMP Pontiac? I remember those late 60s/early 70s big block RCMP cars. Would love to get one of those too.

did I hear 'B' body wagon ?

Looks like a very good car. Would probably have it if it was a 454.

I was trying to locate the original mill, but apparently the guy who removed it had nothing but trouble with it so I have been told he junked it....!
I had a 4-dr Biscayne but it was hit in the front end.... It had a 327, glide and a 3:08 posi in it. I should also look at the other '68 Biscayne I rifled another 3:08 posi out of..... But I do know of a '68, I believe is a RCMP car as it has the 140mph speedo............ If you want me to get a price, he is not cheap, pm me and I can call him!!!!
