Default Re: 69 Rolled Chevelle Chrome Extensions

I was told that those are for 70 to 72. The 69 that he is looking for are not a tip its part of the pipe 68 and 69 only. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

I have researched these tips and from what I can tell the rolled tip was early 69 only. The rolled tip was changed to cut off tip because of rust problem with water trapping in rolled edge. Most original 69's I have seen do not have rolled tip. They have cut off tip with no part number stamped on. The GM repop has a part number stamped in it.

The 1968 Chevelle SS did not have the chrome tips. The tail pipe on the 68 Chevelle ended at the corner of the quater panel behind the tire and pointed out. This obviously would not accomodate a chrome extension.

The 1969 Chevelle would be the only one with the rolled tips and we are not sure when they ended. We feel that they ended before the end of the production year but are not sure when. (this is the one we are looking for)

The 1970-1972 Chevelle Chrome extension is the one available today. It might have possibly been used on the late 1969 Chevelles.

What Joe says makes sense. But if the tips rusted out that fast the replacement tip sold by GM a year or two later would not have the part number in it either. So the cars outfitted with these tips would appear to have original extensions that were not rolled even though the original extensions which were, are now long gone. Just a thought.

My 69 SS was delivered 12-27-68 and had the rolled tips. They were actual tips and not part of the tailpipe. I have a set of the reproduction ones that I purchased from George Lyons a few years back.
