SPID detectives - figure this one out.

Now that’s a new one.

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

We don't see the full SPID. It's not a Canadian build, is it? Oshawa truck? They may have
contracted to build trucks for the US market, if Flint could not keep up.


Also [V43 Step Bumper] from the Factory? That's unusual, as most were dealer add-ons.

Truck was built in Baltimore ("B" in VIN).

Might have been one destine to end up like in middle east.

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

I have never seen that one. Keith Seymore might know.

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

I'm stumped. I'd have to infer that there were at least 3 different ways to outfit a truck destined for export.. something like "hey Bill, install the km/hr speedo and no emissions equipment on this one..." But I honestly have no clue - thanks for posting JQ, love these puzzles.

Was there any Euro "reassembly" plants for trucks? Going off what I know with first gen Camaro's (I am way more versed in those cars and the build procedure) They would built kits in Norwood and then ship crated cars over to various plants across the Atlantic to lines that would reassemble them and add any local regulation specific stuff. They would usually then get another tag on them for the area. Ive looked at a couple French assembled cars over the years.

Not sure if the trucks were done this way at any point.

Pretty rare built truck too: K20 Cheyenne Super with A/C and bucket seats. It’s got a dealership stamped rear bumper from here in Alabama.

well stop holdin out on us! need more than SPID pics, let's see that puppy! :) (sounds like a gem, and right up my alley)

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

I'll take it....

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

OK, here’s the whole label. Something else strange I figured out on the truck - it does not have lock in/out hubs. I thought they all did but, according to the data book, lock outs were “available as an extra cost option”. I’ll get some pics later on, spent the last 2 days prepping and packing for the SETN Nationals!

and it's apparently not a special order!

How did I know Eric would say that, except I know he meant it :metal:

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

Nice find Joshua
I wonder if that zX3 has something to do with the 4x4 being called out,,
Instead of locking hubs- like we are used to seeing

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

Wow, white over orange K20 super…. Caramba! Surprised to “not” see the trim color on the SPID, what trim color are the buckets?

Parchment

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

very cool, thanks

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

No.

RPOs get re-used, so it is important to use a reference from the time period in question (not a modern document as shown).

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

So, any visibility on what that means on the OP's SPID?

Re: SPID detectives - figure this one out.
 

Doesn't ring any bells with me.

Glad to see you made it back here!!!
Any revelation about what you had to do to repair the connection that might help others here???
Thanks

No - I'm not doing anything any different.

Seems to be working ok for now.
