Re: How do you determine build date of 1968-1972 Chevy C10 pickups?

Various castings have at least a month defined, from which a guess can be made as to when the vehicle came down the line.
But again, these are high volume, very similar vehicles. At least a million sold each year--they aren't Z16 65 SS Chevelles... Relax.
The OP cares, or he wouldn't have asked. It's reasonable question, and I didn't pick up on anyone sounding tense (until somewhere around post 8). Yes, they are "just trucks" but some folks on here would take a 67-72 pickup over a Z16 pretty much any day of the week (count me in that bunch). I look at it this way - if a million sold, then every one of our trucks is "one in a million" to us
