Whats this behind the seat?
I just bought a 1970 c10 from a school district. Can you believe in CA. they were still using these trucks until recently. They had 4 one long bed 69, and 3 short beds 69,70,71. I bought the 70 for $1860. I wanted the 71 but it was a short bed ordered without a bed and had a utility bed on it. Needs a lot of body work esp. on the bed sides. At least no real rust and almost all original even the owners manual. Anyways I took out the bench seat to clean it and make sure found no rust.(there was just a bit on the d.s. kick panel. Was getting ready to put back the seat and i found this old piece of paper woven into the seat springs. It looks like it came from the assembly line or something. Maybe because the truck was sold right around the corner from the Fremont CA, plant?

Re: Whats this behind the seat?
You have found truck gold,or as we like to call it truck porn. that is the build sheet with all the info from when it was built. Don't let it get away.

Re: Whats this behind the seat?
put it into a page protector or get it laminated before it breaks apart.

Re: Whats this behind the seat?
I thought they also put them on gas tanks, under that cardboard cover or on the back?? Worth checking, maybe you have two build sheets!

Re: Whats this behind the seat?
Thanks its kind of a stripy truck. But hey it has an optional 3rd seat belt! Are those steps original? I wouldnt imagine they are. I took 3 pictures of the SPID because I wasnt sure if I would be abe to read it so bear with me.

Re: Whats this behind the seat?
Nice find. Last time I went home to visit in Cerritos, California; the ABC Unified School District Maintenance Department are still rolling around in a few 69-72's! Crazy seeing them growing up and stilll seeing them working maintaining the schools. I wonder what district policy is for retiring the trucks? When is it decided they need to be retired?
