The u joints have to be! They scare me they have been in there so long!

I would be just as worried about the 50 yr old 2.75&quot; 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&quot; 10-bolt before I hurt the shaft.

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&quot; 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 don't like them either. I dug around for a while to keep those little &quot;r's&quot; off the car. 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!

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 !!!
