Re: The build date project
 

Thanks to this project, I was able to identify my 2J1651XX date. For that I wanted to do my part, Thanks. Here is a picture of my 1970 (0T124442) 4/70 door sticker to add.

Re: The build date project
 

Just to add while I was looking around in here.
Under JamesRKing72, thread 71 Blue Jay, post #3, he has a picture of a door sticker with 1S615768, build date 12/70.

Re: The build date project
 

Thanks for posting! Here's both of those in jpg format.

Re: The build date project
 

Our list is growing (and the hyperlinks consume a lot of the allowable characters per post), so I have moved the 72 chevy list to a third post.

I'm now updated through post 365.

GMC on post 63
67-71 Chevy on post 64
72 Chevy on post 65



1B646308 = 5/71 (post 365)

2S202498 = 6/72

9T837073 = 06/01/69 - 06/19/69 (post 365)

8A115646 = 10/12/67 - 10/31/67 (post 365)

8F133264 = pre-01/16/68 (post 365)

Re: The build date project
 

8A124970 = 12/67 (post 366) little bit of a guess on this one, but thinking that is a "D" for the build month.

7S127823 = 12/12/66 - 12/31/66 (post 366)


7B150267 = TBD (post 366) last 7B on list

Re: The build date project
 

My latest. 71 Oshawa Chevrolet

Re: The build date project
 

Another one...........

Re: The build date project
 

I appreciate you posting, but I would still propose that we only include VINs and dates that add new information. In other words, we could have deduced the same build month for that vin just by looking at the list. Additionally, character count limits are something I'm trying to keep in mind also. So if ok with you, I think I'm going to leave that one off the list.

2S116284 = post-09/17/71 (post 371, Blazer)

Re: The build date project
 

It's amazing to me that after 15 pages of documented dates there's still only two 69 Tarrytown chevrolets

Re: The build date project
 

If the rust that's under my 68 is any indication of those trucks
And it spent 3 years upstate before coming west.
I'd bet they're gone after a life in the Salt

Re: The build date project
 

Agreed... And not many other years.

Probably due to the winter salt on the roads as KQQL IT said. I grew up a few miles from the Tarrytown plant. Toured it when I was 18, but by then it was building econoboxes...

0Z174383 = 6/70 (post 375, suburban)

1Z618693 = 01/09/71 (post 375)

ZZ50997 = 09/17/69 (post 375)

2S124072 = 9/71 (post 375) odd that some of the equipment dates are 10/13 and 10/09.

Re: The build date project
 

Here is a very rusty swap-meet Door PIC to add, 2B105313, 8/71

0t111207 = 11/19/69

Re: The build date project
 

378 posts and still only 2 1969 chevrolets from the Tarrytown plant. On top of that not a single one from 71. I know that my replacement frame is from the Tarrytown plant and was wondering if it's partial vin could be added as the first 71 Tarrytown chevrolet 1T614733

Re: The build date project
 

Just found my protecto-plate. 2F118607, delivery date 11/10/71, Bath Michigan. Thanks for your help. Just found my protectoplate, it's a Chevy, 2F118607, delivered 11/10/71, Bath Michigan. Bought at Bee's Chevy-Olds in St' Johns Michigan. Would that be an October 71 built truck? There are some codes on the protectoplate also, anyone know what those are?

Re: The build date project
 

Another Z, 69 chevy

Re: The build date project
 

Yes, I think we should add it. It tells us there were at least 14,733 trucks built that year at Tarrytown.

Do you mind posting a pic of the protecto plate? I can decode it for you. Odds are pretty good that it is a late October build or early November build.

Is this your truck? Do you want it listed as your truck on the list? Otherwise, honestly, without any build month info, it doesn't provide much value IMO.



I'm hoping to update my lists in the next few days...

0Z171479 = 6/70
2A150074 = 03/10/72

Re: The build date project
 

That is a 1972 year model truck, as evidenced by the "2" before the "F" for Flint, plant designator.

Re: The build date project
 

That is my truck, you can put it on the list. i figure the more serial numbers that come up close to mine will give me a good build date month. I know from what I see on the list it was fall of 71. I thought I added pics but they are a little blurry. I don't see where to add pics now.

Re: The build date project
 

Codes on protectoplate. V1013TRL YSR11 and an R under that. 16? to the right of those. Try pic this time.

Re: The build date project
 

The number on top left is engine serial number with date of 10/13/71.
The number below that is transmission serial number with date of 10/13/71 (286th day of 1971).
The number below the truck serial number is rear axle assembly serial number. I believe R11 would be for October 11, but I'm not certain.

Then, on the far right is a chevy emblem with another digit stamped next to it for the build month. I can't read it... I would have expected a K for October or an L for November.

So, not knowing the build month digit, I would say your truck's build date was sometime between 10/13/71 - 11/10/71.

Oh, and the lone 'R' is for Rochester carburetor.

Re: The build date project
 

I thought that was a 6 but comes out as a J on macro with the camera. That would be September? They didn't use an "I" in the code?Thanks for the help.

Re: The build date project
 

see post #311. still unclear to me what the build month digit is....

Re: The build date project
 

Sorry I can't be more help with Stephen717's search for 1971 Tarrytown trucks, but here is a little.
1T617829 which was my old truck.
The only reason I know the VIN is because of my insurance company messing up. When I replace my 1971 truck with my 1970 truck, they never updated the VIN on my policy. My 1971 was sent to the scrap yard around 1993ish, but if you look at my policy it says 2010, with a year of 1970, but a VIN of a 1971 truck, so yes it took me about 17 years before realizing the issue. Good thing I never got into an accident with my 1970! Insurance companies go by VIN not the Plate.
Here are a couple of pics of the old girl and insurance card to build the total number of trucks produced from Tarrytown in 1971.

Re: The build date project
 

June assembled 72 Blazer. One of the last to leave Flint. Currently listed on BAT

Re: The build date project
 

Here is a nice one I found at the local Home Depot. 1F636573, 3/71, hope to see him at the car shows.:metal:

Re: The build date project
 

Good date here of Sept 7, 1971 Flint https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...et-blazer-111/

Re: The build date project
 

Neat pics. I have an editor for the old pics that does good things.

Here is some information for my 1967 C20 Camper Special. Original Paint, numbers matching. Super nice original truck with zero rust

Re: The build date project
 

Few more pics

Re: The build date project
 

Are you able to get a clear picture of the top left of the build sheet where the date is printed? Guessing early March based on the protecto plate.
