He's slacking already !! It's 8am and I already did my 12-8 at work........ I'm jealous

Congratulations !!!! Enjoy your retirement for a week or so then I have a long brother do list for you !!! Lol.

I had a 70 years ago ordered with bucket seat column shift. Lady ordered the car like that so she could put her purse in-between the seats. The buckets in the picture appear to be from a Camaro or TA 70's-80's.

I learned from a friend of mine that has been dealing with rims for over 25 years and was very knowledgeable on the codes. The YH wheel is correct for a 70 Monte if dated correct for your car. They were also correct for the z28 also if they are 69 date coded they were used on disc brake cars. They stopped the YH codes in late 70 and went to the FW code in 71. So long story short if they are dated correct for your car grab them because it's not easy to find a complete set with the same date code nowadays and for a reasonable price.

I also have 15x8 5" offset and 275-60-15 tire and have no issues

Welcome!!!

Beautiful truck !! Great story and nice family collection you guys have.

Through the years I've personally seen some very weird stuff like that. I seems to happen a lot on Mopars back in the day ,I think they were smoking some wacky stuff back then.

We did have them on our 71 "COVID" Monte liked the wheels just not on this car. I sold them to a friend he put them on his 72 Chevelle Wich I think they look good 15x10 5 1/2 backspace 275-60-15 tires on the rear. I can't find a picture of the Monte with them but here they are on the Chevelle.

I have hooker long tube headers on my 355 with a turbo 400 they went in with no issues and they don't hang down low under the car.

Welcome !!! Great looking Monte

Welcome!! Nice project you have keep the progress pictures coming

Welcome Joe!! Great looking Monte

I also learned from one of the other members great research that 71 Monte Carlo SS cars from the Baltimore plant will have BF in the same spot.

Welcome !!! Nice job with the Camaro and good luck with your new Monte

On our Barn find Monte we have 15x7 rally wheels and when we feel we want a different look the P02 hubcaps go right on and no one can tell the Rally's are underneath.

71 402 4speed was built 3rd week of January 71 SS 2nd week of February both Baltimore cars

Wow that car has some history behind it. Great story I just wish it had a different ending for you Rob.

Welcome back !!!

Painted the 496 today......small steps forward!!

Welcome

The newer model emblem I would think is much flatter than the one that came on the 70. The thing that I have learned over the years when I try thing's like this is I end up spending more money in the long run and end up with extra"in stock" parts.

Nice Christmas gift. Best of luck with your new Monte !!

Did you run a 12 v wire to the Hei because if you use the original I think it's a brown wire from the starter it cases problems with the mini starter. The car will only want to start when you let go of the key.
