Lowest production/serial number - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One additional thought: I believe the number you all are imagining is the "PVI" (Primary Vehicle Indicator"), or the GA (General Assembly) Sequence number (sometimes called the manifest sequence number).

THAT is the number that increments up by one, in order, for every vehicle produced.

Said differently, the VIN is NOT the primary tracking number in the assembly plant. It is a part to be installed, just like a tune up label or a Mulroney window sticker. The PVI or GA sequence number is the primary way that a vehicle is tracked through the build.
