You're right. I went ahead and did that but don't see an option to delete this one. Like my name says... noob.

From the 70 GMC. Typo on hydra-matic.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

This is from a Suburban C20 so maybe it shouldnt be here. Anyway the car is an export, sold new in Sweden.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Actually there are seperate threads for 67-72 Pickups, Blazers and Suburban/Panel trucks. So as a reminder to everyone here are the links to them.

Re: SPID Picture thread?

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Every build starts with an order number, even those for dealer stock.

The dealer order number is what gets sent to the final assembly plant to kick off the build process.

I'm not sure why only a random sampling of SPIDs show the dealer order number; may be plant to plant or model year variation.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Hmm, Special Order for customer maybe to verify it is correct to order sheet.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Not too many of these:

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Ok, I think I finally got photobucket to cooperate with my phone.

Here is mine.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

This SPID doesn't match your avatar photo. I'm interested in a few pix of that truck. The white/color/white/color trucks are always eye-candy. What does the "special" color mean?

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

I'll try to locate the forum thread where this was recently posted...will post up more pics if I locate it (not my truck just posted SPID for posterity). My K20 SPID can be seen on the resto thread linked in my signature below. SS Tim can chime in but my understanding is that some special color options were offered (fleet trucks like USFS) but the details may be more complex with Canada trucks as these could be had with colors not available in US, purple comes to mind.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

my 72 short step that ive been working on for ever, it was a us forestry service truck from chadron state park here in nebraska ..... COPO , of sorts :)

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Here's one from a 72 we have in storage. It has some interesting anomalies. This is two separate shots of the same spid. It was dark and the flash gave me fits.

Re: SPID Picture thread?

Re: SPID Picture thread?

Re: SPID Picture thread?

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Here's one I picked up yesterday.........might just be a keeper....

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Had this one come into my work. I thought the red interior was pretty neat as well as the mirror option.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Here's the latest to soon be de-parted.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Loaded 72 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper with Special paint ordered as well :)

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

OK leddzepp what is the backstory? Any pictures?

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

I have seen

Z62 CUSTOM COMF & CONV EQ

On a number of these SPIDS.

Is this just a trim package? what came with it?

Thanks

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Here are the options listed for the(RPO) Z62 Custom Comfort.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

RPO Z62 is what evolved into the Scottsdale trim package in later years (mid trim level, between Custom Deluxe and Silverado).

K

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

A '66 information page while not exactly accurate is close. Here is a exterior emblem progression that basically shows the trim level evolution through 67-72 using the RPO code Z62 (and Z61). CC+CA, CC&A and Custom Deluxe are all pretty much the same content though.

Lets start with the trim levels and their exterior emblems through the 67-72 years. This shows how the names progressed downward as new trim levels were added.


67 10-30 base fender emblem used for all trim levels
Custom Appearance Z61 Custom badged, door
Custom Comfort Z62 (none)
Custom Sport Truck Z84 CST badged, door

68 CA & CC combined to become Custom Comfort & Appearance Z62

10-30 base fender emblem used for all trim levels
Custom Comfort & Appearance Z62 Custom badged, door
Custom Sport Truck Z84 CST badged, door

69 C/10-30 base trim fender emblem
Custom Comfort & Appearance Z62 Custom/10-30 fender emblem
Custom Sport Truck Z84 CST/10-30 fender emblem

70 C/10-30 base trim fender emblem
Custom Comfort & Appearance Z62 Custom/10-30 fender emblem
Custom Sport Truck Z84 CST/10-30 fender emblem

71 Custom is now base trim
CC&A became Custom Deluxe Z62
CST became Cheyenne Z84

CUSTOM/10-30 base trim fender emblem
Custom Deluxe Z62 CUSTOM/10-30 + DELUXE fender emblems
Cheyenne Z84 CHEYENNE/10-30 fender emblem
Cheyenne Super YE9 (April 71 release) CHEYENNE/10-30 + SUPER fender emblems

72 CUSTOM/10-30 base trim fender emblem
Custom Deluxe Z62 CUSTOM/10-30 + DELUXE fender emblems
Highlander (trim upgrade to and required Custom Deluxe Z62) (no change)
Cheyenne Z84 CHEYENNE/10-30 fender emblem
Cheyenne Super YE9 CHEYENNE/10-30 + SUPER fender emblems

****
Note: On 67-71 trucks ordered with the Custom Camper (67-68) or CustomCamper/10-30 (69-71) RPO Z81 nameplate, it superceded the fender series emblem. As such a base 20, C/10 or a CHEYENNE/30 SUPER would have the relevant CustomCamper/10-30 fender emblem and NOT reflect the actual trim level. 72 trucks reverted to a trim level independent Custom Camper door emblems.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Here are the trims level descriptions, by year, for 67-72 I'd previously posted.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Sorry, just saw this. I only have the glovebox door, don't know the story on the truck, but wish I owned it!

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

I want a truck like this

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Wow. Wow. Ok, gotta ask - 8D3 Additional Gasoline? Someone help me. It has NL2 also. This thing must have made it at least 100 miles without a fill-up :)

Curious about that code though...

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Wow. Me too. A Pkg C Highlander, swb, ochre & white with a big block & posi... Plaid and two-stripe burnouts all in the same truck. caramba, what a sweet combo.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Vehicles were fueled with a minimal amount of fuel for dealer delivery. Sometimes there was a need or desire for additional fuel in the tank, export prep or through shipping to an upfitter come to mind. This is the code for the added fuel.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

I like this one -- Short fleet.

576 Medium Olive / Yellow. Parchment Interior. Etc etc

It was on CL in Phoenix

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Thanks for the reply. Would like to have known what was special on the paint.

Well put my name on it, so if you decide to sell it.... :-)

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Like Tim says, minimal fuel, just enough to get it to the dealer, usually. Sometimes they ran out coming off the trailer or on the way to the gas station. This is because the factory doesn't pay any tax on the fuel. Not sure of the reason. Anyway, we used to take the vehicles after delivery and run them to the gas station down the street before we got our own tanks and pumps. We'd put in $1 worth. Doesn't seem like much, but in the early '70s, that was over 3 gallons!

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Mine. About 3/4 done with full frame off restore.
