The u joints have to be! They scare me they have been in there so long! Dave 67 Nova Boy </div></div> I would be just as worried about the 50 yr old 2.75" diameter thin wall Chevy II driveshaft. For peace of mind, I put a Denny's HD shaft in my '65 Chevy II stick car. Dennys uses the Spicer joints, and they claim a 500 hp rating for this shaft with stock-size 1310 joints. It's a nice piece. A little pricey, but nice. I'm sure I'll blow up the Muncie or the 8.2" 10-bolt before I hurt the shaft. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/c2_h...iveshafts.html |

1969 Lakewood decals shouldn't have the ® on them. The early ones aren't too difficult to find. I don't know the exact year the trademark sign showed up but I think it was mid 70's.

I have early ones now for the Scatter shield.
Technically, most Lakewood parts used 1 decal ! mid - late 70's for the big contingency decals changed. The earlier small ones have the R from what I've found out. The 3 point bolt in loop roll bar came from a 67 Camaro convertible bought new in the winter of 1970-71 and the Red driveshaft loop with 1970 receipt both have the small R decal. I also have J bolt kits with the Big 3" stirrups with R's dated 1974 packages. I personally don't like seeing the R.....but what are you going to do... ? Thanks, Tom

Here's a perfect example of variances from supplier to supplier.
These are actual Lakewood Patches. The Large on , a jacket patch for the back. The Medium one for the front chest area and the Modern small one. Notice the color and border variations. ![]() ![]()

I refuse to have any .com decals on the cars either, even if the decal is cool looking or represents a club... No dot coms on the car... I like what your doing with the Z Tom and I hope Retirement is good to you! Tommy |

Thanks...
I'm trying. Most every part , decals are Original or NOS and selected for specific parts and early dates available up to 1974. Some are pre -1970. I'd like every Day 2 Add on to be spot on... But safety and durability comes into play and I can't compromise that at 100+ mph... Nothing new / modern , or Dot Com of anything !!!
