early tucker photos
- Thread starter Pontoon Princess
- Start date
tuckers were painted white, green, blue, yellow, red, before orange...and orange it is
and pretty sure you could get a pink one from the factory for the right amount of money, come to think about it, Blackfoot, if paid enough money money, would paint one pink, he painted his BSGreen

Make sure to glass over the labeling so it's permanent for generations to come.
May I suggest a maritime solution:

I certainly want to thank Jesse Cook and his efforts to save early tuckers and getting them into the collection
also, his help to further the research and understanding of these machine, truly appreciate his efforts and his commitment to the cause of saving this history.
thank you PP

Completely true statement.
Never knew there were three options on a '68-'69 442. I thought my grill was custom built after it hit something (hood was caved in at the leading edge at some point) and thought it broke the cast grill. Apparently it may have been stock. A 'concerned citizen' left behind a cast piece from a cache of parts smuggled over the border and I thought all was good and would use it. Took out the waves and bends as well as possible (fearing breakage), smoothed everything out and primed. Thought I was set until I put it beside the side panels to see how close the bolt holes were. Two inches short?? Did I miss a spacer somewhere?? Nope, a completely different grill. Make no two the same. Only thing I can think of for the difference was that the L6 needed additional height at the front of the motor that the 318/327's didn't need? (although that may not even matter since the mesh grill below has one of the V-8's)

I have another grill specimen of that style vintage down back to check. I saw another two used as outside mud door mats during a parts smuggling mission from Vermont.

Here is my grill entry. Let me know if we need any specific measurements from 1969 with a 265.
Same as the one I have. On yours, instead of using the mesh or the 8 slot, they added a spacer at the bottom. BUT, I don't believe that was stock. The 8 slot goes straight line the the leading edge of the frame. That way the side panels line up and wouldn't need to be bent at the bottom to bolt on.
