Final Assembly date is on the blue driver's door sticker (June 1971 in the case of my 71's pic below - it was a late in the model year production truck). So if I were seeking "date correct" parts for this truck, they should all be date coded June 71 or prior. For instance, engine could be coded May 71 and be correct, but if coded July 71, you'd know it was a replacement. This info can also be found on the build sheet (almost upper left corner of Pic 2). Note Build Sheet date is 5/28/71, so actually 2 days prior to Jun 71. This may represent the date for starting the line and the sticker may go on at the end, don't know though (paging Keith!) Anyway, hope that helps.
