Should we rename this thread? Maybe ... the Ask Yelmer when your truck was made thread. Lol.
Back to thread topic, what's the earliest/latest 1966 Vins we have so far, Mike?

Good question Bruce . I changed pc a while ago and the data did not transfer . I thought this thread was dead so i did not worry about it . I will need to go through the thread and compile . I was going through the papers on the 64-66 plant production to compile and post . but i have been busy . and had a slight concussion a few months ago that slowed me down . So i took a break from the green truck. I am starting to get back to it . I think yours was a very low production if i remember.

Yikes! Took a header, eh? Ooof! Hope you are now back to where you were before that.
Low production .. my trucks? .. nah, just low options on the turquiose one. Both 66's are Spring season Fremont trucks.

Cool, thanks! We found that my dad's 69 K20 also came out of the Fremont plant. Kinda cool to have both of our trucks made in the same place :chevy:

I would like some info on my 65 Suburban, if possible. I know this is for 66 models, but...
My VIN is
C1465Z107588

It's a 65 Suburban, built in Fremont.
That's all I know. I would love to know where it was sold, but without any build sheet or other paperwork it's impossible My dad bought it in 1976 from the original owner, in Scottsdale, AZ if that helps any.
Thanks so much
Paul

I remember Ray Korte. I also remember when Brown & Hoye became Brown & Brown in Mesa(where we lived). Too bad they dont have records dating back that far.

Or start a new thread "Does anyone have a Z code '64 model year?" if you get no traction here. The 59,704 truck built in Fremont seems very late in the year still with the H code, leads me to believe Z was first used for the '65 model year.

Been searching off and on today and yes the Z code was for the start of the `65 model year....

My dash cluster has a red ink stamp on the back of it April`64, so given that sub assembly parts to be installed two weeks to one month on the line, May even June build period.

So how many days into 1966 production is this one? Or how many units produced in all of September divided by working days.

Very roughly averaged out:
22 working days in Sept '65
12437 @ 22 = 565 per day
serial # 1632 built near end of day on 3rd day of 1966 production at St. Louis
Earliest so far?
