The build date project

8B141944 = 06/10/68 - 06/30/68 (post 301)

72 Blazer
2F160356 = 03/22/72 - 03/31/68 (post 301, Blazer) 82nd day of 1972 = 3/22

70 chevy
0B132178 = 01/22/70 (post 301) The engine build date (01/27) is later than the truck build date. If that was a common occurrence, that blows a hole in how I have been calculating many of the build dates.

68 chevy
8A163982 = TBD (post 302) currently the last 8A truck on our list

70 chevy
0Z122653 = 11/12/69 (post 302)

69 chevy
9Z873496 = 06/24/69 (post 302) 175th day of 1969. Similar to post 290. I read a thread where someone suggested "DD" stands for "delivery date." The way the plate is stamped, the factory would have had to have stamped it (unless the dealership re-riveted it with correct rivets?), so I'm counting it as a build date until someone more knowledgeable can explain the process.

In updating my list on post 50 today, I realized we are limited to 50,000 characters per post. Therefore, I have split my list into two lists: GMC's on post 63 and Chevy's on post 64. Both are updated through post 302.

Tyler--you'll be running into the same problem soon too. FYI (Edit: on second thought, you may be ok for a while. I think my hyperlinks are eating up my 50k-character allowance.)

Only Tyler can edit the first post. That will be his decision. I will try to leave a link in my post every couple of posts.

After today's updates, it appears the last 2S Blazer was produced at the end of March '72. I'd be curious if anyone can find a Blazer with serial number higher than 2S174000. Anyone have one?

71 GMC

Wooo HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good man go!

Adding these for easy reference. Even though the site I found this is a chevelle site, much of the info seems to apply to our trucks.

Tyler, I updated two serial numbers as a result of the info below: 01121369 & 0F128831.

70 GMC
AZ5912 = 07/01/70 - 07/17/70 (post 312) Build month number looks like a "T" but I think it would have to be a "7"

That's great--thanks for posting! The protecto plate is most helpful. Built sometime in April after 103rd day of the year (April 12).

1970 Chevy K10 - Tarrytown NY. 0T101909. It was built somewhere between 8/18/69 and 9/30/69. I have a photo of a metal tag secured to the back frame of the bench seat that is dated 8-18-69. (Is this a known "usual" thing?) I also have the original bill of sale when the owner bought it from the dealer in Rome NY on 9/30/69. That pretty much brackets things!

[Chevys4life]

I have a question for you. Do you want us to submit the paperwork for our own trucks or send it to someone?

Your choice. Posting in the thread is preferred in my opinion because it helps avoid typos and errors. Or you can pm 57taskforce or myself.

Okay.....thanks for the information. I will do it later this week myself!!!

[Mike80D]

Sorry I have no idea of build date, but have I found the first Baltimore 72 GMC for the list? Photo is from glove compartment door that’s for sale.

[Mike80D]

Found this interesting. Here is a 4/71 Flint built truck on BAT that has matching vin # on the frame, SPID, and metal door tag. However the blue decal on the door has the next consecutive vin # printed on it. Could it be a two trucks were ordered by the same company, or individual and they got the decals mixed up? I don’t think this would have passed inspection?
