Guest Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Going by memory,because my 71 is in a barn 8 miles from home. The black on the rockers goes to the sill plates and no black on the rear quarters. Mine is a repaint and might be wrong. Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted January 7, 2001 Share Posted January 7, 2001 I'm pretty sure that the black actually goes under the sill plate as well as covers the complete rocker, from the top of the rocker molding down, as well as runs from "tire to tire". So yes it goes on part of the quarter, but I don't think it covers the part of the quarter that attaches to the rocker at the bottom (seen when you open the door) hope this makes sense. ------------------ Dave C. 70 402 4spd Monte Carlo 72 350 Monte Carlo 69 427 Corvette roadster 86 Grand National 96 Impala SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted January 7, 2001 Share Posted January 7, 2001 Maybe these will help, I don't believe that the jams have ever been repainted on this car. Please ignore the "funky' carpet, soon to be replaced with the correct black! ------------------ Dave C. 70 402 4spd Monte Carlo 72 350 Monte Carlo 69 427 Corvette roadster 86 Grand National 96 Impala SS [This message has been edited by DaveC (edited 01-07-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Kevin - Any chance we could get these pictures put on the site permanently? I am sure this will come up again and the photos are a great reference. ------------------ Dave Kase "Desmo888" '70 SS454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wiles Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Yes, that could be arranged. I have a lot of work to do on the site. Many new pics for the photo album and such. This would be good for the tech info section. Now, anyone who has black paint on the rockers, tell me where your car was built and what year it is. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Kevin my car is a 70 and produced in VanNuys-GMAD. It also came with the black rockers painted up into door sills /under sill plate . 13857 OL 124784 mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr70Monte Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 all 70-72 rockers were painted black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wiles Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 no, not all of them were like that. My 70 did not but my 72 did. My guess is that certain plants did it differently. Or maybe certain plants at certain build dates? Mine is a 70 built in atlanta built in June of 70. It has body color paint on the rockers (black cherry) and since it has a late build date for a 70 model, it has a non-halo style top like all 71's and 72's had. It is also rumored that late built 70's possibly had 71 style hood ornaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
