Where was your truck made?
 
Does the location of the plant your truck made tell something about the quality of it?

I’m starting to think so. After reviewing a few trucks, I've discovered that the Canadian trucks seem to be built better. For example they seem to seam seal a little better, paint under the dash, etc. It could be that they are built better to handle the environment up there. What's your all's thoughts on this?

Even if there isn't one best plant. What would be the perfect combo of plants? Like paint from one plant, drive-train from another, etc.

My truck was built in St. Louis. Seems pretty well built to me.

There's even people who think the day of the week will decide the quality...

Oshawa, Ontario, Canada The same place my wife is from.And my father-in-law used to work at the very plant my truck was built at. There may be some cosmic forces at work here.

Not sure on mine.....was there a plant in Atlanta?

Mint68 01-25-2005 01:04 PM

My Blazer came out of St. Louis. It has been in Nebraska all its life and seems to be doing o.k.

Mine was built there too. :metal:
Since mine spent it's life In Texas, It's been a rust free life. I'm gonna try my best to keep it that way too.
I've never bought into the whole Built on Friday BAD, built on Wednesday GOOD crap. :crazy:

I've always wondered who has the lowest sequence number out of all the members on here that were built from St. Louis plant? :confused:
I got: 184124

67ChevyRedneck 01-25-2005 02:31 PM

I think that means your truck was # 84,124. My truck also spent most of it's life in brownsfield, tx before it made its was to SC sometime in the early 90's, then NY in 96 and back to sc in '02 to present. Was never driven in snow.

Mine was built in Atlanta. Its fared OK throughout the years besides having hundreds of thousands of miles put on it, and road salt slowly eat it away.....

dropdprpls10 01-25-2005 02:45 PM

Mine was built in St. Louis and is in pretty good shape considering it was not very loved until I got it. I am trying make it purty again as money permits.

sdmahr 01-25-2005 03:12 PM

Atlanta it is !

Thanks 67ChevyRedneck !

[QUOTE=67ChevyRedneck]I think that means your truck was # 84,124. /QUOTE]

Duh. :rolleyes: :help:

I was asking who has the lowest production number from the trucks on this board that were built at the St. Louis Plant.

Example: My number is 184124. Golly gee, since your truck was built in St. Louis too, what is your number? And so on and so on.

I'm not picking on you(well, not that hard anyway), cause I think you misunderstood what I was asking.

skokie 01-25-2005 03:58 PM

Fremont ca. Just up the road a piece.

67ChevyRedneck 01-25-2005 04:18 PM

I know what you were asking. I don't have my trucks vin # here at work. All I was sayin was your # is pretty high.

example: 100781 = 781st Unit Built

Your truck would be #84124 unit built, not 184124

That is still a high number, must have been made at the end of the year.

Jesse72 01-25-2005 04:59 PM

Baltimore

cheyguy 01-25-2005 05:45 PM

Chalk another one up for St. Louis. #679351 so I'm out of the running for lowest number..........Who's got the highest. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

67ChevyRedneck 01-25-2005 05:52 PM

Is that even possible?? I think they made a little less than a million trucks in 71. Don't make sense that one plant out of 11 would have made over half the trucks???

special70gmc 01-25-2005 06:01 PM

mine was uilt in tarrytown ny i spent the first 6 trs of my life in that town what quincidence, -kyle
