My New '68 Camaro Z/28 Butternut Yellow

George,
 The measurement from the bottom of the head, past the captured washer to the end of the threads = 1".  Looks to be right at exactly an inch... D

Hi George! The thing that makes them unique is the O.D of the captured washer which is around 7/8".

Guys thanks for the measurement's & info. I have seen that bolt used anywhere else. George

Got my 15 X 7 FW Rally wheels painted, and tires mounted and on the car. Now I can clean up the originals and work on getting Good Year Wide Tread GT's.
 Funny out of all 5 DF rally wheels, only one has a "Kelsey Hayes" Stamp. Never seen that before, wonder why it's not on all the wheels... Danny

Went to my first cruise-in/car show today and won 1st. runner up out of about 60 cars. The winner was a beautiful 1960 Jeep pick-up with a 9' bed. Pretty cool for sure. I voted for it! Lots of "run of the mill" rides, and some very nice semi-scarce ones. I went up to the Jeep guy after the announcements and said ," You had to bring the jeep didn't ya." He got a kick out of it.... D

Congratulations Danny.  Your car's older, better looking, and faster brother was born on 2/15/68!

Crawled inside the trunk and detailed for a couple hours. First on my right side, then my left. Couldn't turn around while in the trunk    Came out nice and is ready. Waxed the deck lid underside etc. Nothing much left to do.. That part of the car is ready for show. Found a stamp on the gas filler cover. Never noticed that before... Danny

[dannystarr]

Trunk cleaned.. I thought I had it cleaned once before, I was wrong.. D

Great pics Danny. Does your car have the black shock covers on both sides?
(I have one on the drivers side but not on the passenger side, maybe it got lost)

[69Z28-RS]

Austin,

Maybe the '69's were the only ones to get the DELUXE shock rod covers??    
PS.  my car also had one only on the driver's side... in my faint memory, I think I recall that GM did not install one on the other side because the spare tire basically hides that area.. and perhaps the little 'boot' was to prevent the shock screw threads from scratching up luggage??  (or maybe people's moving the spare in and out over the years damaged/pulled off the one on the passenger side?)..
