The link tell me this

"Pinstriping was not available as an RPO, but was included with Style Trim or Rally Sport."

My car is a true RS so would I read this correct that it would have the D91 stripe as part of the RS option?

I have a early 1970 high nickle 010 350 out of a Chevy station wagon

The "high nickle" block is an old wives tale that's been propagated over and over through the years. No one knows how or where it began, but the "010" and "020" cast into that front bulkhead identifies the common core pattern used for two different blocks, not any metallurgy. More info HERE (read the replies from JohnZ and Bergy).

Thank you Ed, guess I'm guilty of drinking the koolaid. Another wives tail I've heard about the "010" blocks is they were all four bolt main

Thanks all. I wasn't sure about the body number and I didn't want to take the time to ask. I wanted to get you guys the photo of the tag so better safe than sorry. Is the column shift a rare option. seeing how the drive line is missing and the possibility of getting the original items back is probably zero, would I be safe to just restore the car they way i want. I have a early 1970 high nickle 010 350 out of a Chevy station wagon, a muncie 4 speed with a hurts competition shifter. I have a Saginaw trans but not sure where it can from. Actually i have a few manual trans another that I have is a super t10 with the fine spline, which would be the better choice.

Just went looking for the axle stamp. Dont see anything so that one is going to take more work to get and it wont be today. The axle tube is very dirty and might even be undercoated. Sorry also the radius rod is square

thank you, The VIN reads 124377L and the trim tag is 67-12637 LOS. So they match? Also my trim tag has no Drive-line (2) code, what would have been the engine trans combination? it appears to have a column manual shift, I remember in my younger years removing the trim on the steering column and replacing it with one that didn't have the shifter lever boss on it. It had a floor shift manual trans in when purchased. The rear axle has the round radius rod. unfortunately the original engine and trans are long gone.

   Hello all, new to this site so please excuse any question that I ask if it has already been addressed. please direct me to previous post with the answer I seek.

    I have owned my 1967 Camaro sense late 70's not sure exactly when I bought it, I repainted it while still in high school. Almost before the paint was dry i clipped a retaining wall of a parking lot and dented the passengers front fender, this was so traumatic to me that I parked the car and didn't drive it for a long time. When I did face my daemons and start to drive the car again it was more then I could handle, driving such a sweet car with a damaged front end. So I parked it in the Garage and proceeded to pull the front end off, unfortunately did stop with just the front clip. Well time, kids, and life got in the way and the car sat in my mother garage for close to 25 years. Personal reasons and the purchase of a new house allowed me to more the car to its current location where it has been sitting again almost 10 years. In that time I have been purchasing parts to put the car back together. All that is left is a bell housing and drive shaft.

   Blah, Blah, Blah. Anyway back to my question, and hopefully the answer doesn't crush my expectations. Recently I found decoding sites and ran the trim tag and VIN tag. My concern is the body number code on the trim tag does not match the serial number of the VIN tag. Please tell me this is normal and that nothing fishy is going on. The hidden codes stamped on the body under the cowl and near the blower motor match the VIN tag, so i'm sure the VIN tag is correct to the car. The car is titled in my name as it has been sense I purchased it. Please help. 

   IF it helps the paint code on the trim tag is correct to the original color (Marina Blue). And the year and plant codes of both the VIN and trim tags match.

Thanks
