  1. From the factory the seats did not have the chrome on the lower part for a Monte. Just the upper part around the seat back. No end caps were used. I added the trim to the lower part on the 71 SS I used to have and it did the same thing yours is doing. It doesn’t want to bend around that corner and when it straightens out it pulls off. I eventually took it off and redid it. I tried to make sure the trim was installed straight down if that makes any sense. The first time I did it I think it was on a bit of an angle which made it easier for it to pup off. You could also try making a cut on the trim on the inside of that bend so it will make that bend easier. You won’t see the cut and it won’t have any force trying to pull off the front part of the seat.
  2. Some people don’t visit the site daily so it could be that he just hasn’t been back to the site yet. I’m happy to help whether someone responds or not. 🙂
  3. In the for sale section of our forums you can create a wanted post in there. I’ve found parts on here that way over the years.
  4. Here’s what the shape of the tank should be. From the factory some were plated in a gold type finish and some were black. Mine has been painted to appear like the plating.
  5. The tank isn’t correct for a Monte. The rest is probably fine though.
  6. I had mine shipped to me in Western Canada without issue. They look great. I had to open up a hole or two to get them to fit. Take your time putting them in and you will get great results.
  7. I’ve been married for over 20 years and I’m still learning… 🤣
  8. As Larry said, 1970 only and was cancelled part way through the production year. No 1971 Montes had this trim. My 1970 does.
  9. His tank is simply round on the end. The proper tank has a cap on the end. I believe he has to find the correct tank as the cap doesn’t come off (ie the cap is not available as a separate piece). The tank he has will work but to be factory correct it should have the tank with the proper end in it. The tank he has may be from a Cadillac or other GM vehicle.
  10. Not correct. The tank is is different missing the cap on the end.
  11. In my experience those clips can be tough to get off without breaking the tab off the chrome backing. The only time I have tried to get those clips off I was replacing the chrome backing anyway so wasn’t a big deal if I broke the tab off.
  12. Top left corner of build sheet. June 16th. Your body tag should have a code 06C for 3rd week of June on it. The blue sticker has 06-71 for June of 1971.
