Sidepipe Shield
Can anyone tell me if Rockwell Intn'l. is the original manufacturer of the sidepipe shields on midyears? I found this on the inside when I took it off to clean it.

North American Rockwell was from the September 1967 merger of North American Aviation of LA with Rockwell Standard of Pittsburgh, which diversified into general manufacturing during the defense aviation industry die backs of the post WWII era, lasting until 1973 until becoming Rockwell International.

Rockwell International was a supplier to GM during the 1970's time period…perhaps going into the 1980's or longer. Not certain they supplied much in the 1960's……………so I would say that the shields are from later service replacements.
