Neat build sheet info from Cali. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 07-07-2013, 10:38 PM

I recently bought a '69 GMC Custom Camper and found the build sheet (actually 3 - 1 behind seat, 1 under seat and 1 behind gas tank cover). I saw where it was delivered to University Sales in Costa Mesa, Ca. I put the build sheet in a protective cover and put it in a binder with more dealer data. I flipped through my binder and noticed that I have another one from Costa Mesa (a 72 Cheyenne Super 3/4 ton). I compared the addresses and apparently there was a Chevy dealership and GMC dealership next door to each other: Connell Chevy on 2828 Harbor Blvd. and University GMC on 2850 Harbor Blvd. Both of these trucks ended up in Tennessee only a few hours apart. What are the odds???

That is neat. And what are the odds they then ended up in Killen,Alabama at the same guy's house?

I always wondered how many Cheyenne Supers,etc. were built at one plant compared to another. Certain parts of the country were appreciating finer things in a truck than others at that time...same with LWB vs SWB,2wd vs 4wd,Suburbans,and K/5. I bet Baltimore built more base trucks and Freemont built more Cheyenne Supers. SWBs,especially with high-option,were mostly S/E and S/W. By the time you got to Texas they fizzled out. So,I imagine trucks outfitted a particular way would likely have been "imported" to areas who's more local plant didn't build many if any.
