SPID Picture thread?

[Robert Bergstrom]

So does a factory cruise control set up show up on the SPID?

Also I remember some Air Force trucks at a junk yard in Monroe Washington in the 1980's (always short boxes or step sides for some reason) which had some real short SPID. Usually special order and maybe foam seat was on it. Bare basic trucks that were used and then some by the air base.

The SPID would show V30 for a factory, production line installed cruise control. But a GM accessory kit installed by the dealer would not.

Another for the collection. '71 GMC, purty plain :-)
By the way, what's up with the dark green glove box door and medium green body paint ? I've seen some medium green trucks here thave matching glove box. I am going to freshen my girl up and want it to be right. Just seems odd to have the different glove box in this instance, maybe just adding contrast..

This is a SPID from a parts truck I bought.....looks like k30 for speed control.

Thanks for pointing that out and you are correct as K01-L99 are engine range upc codes. Now I am trying to figure out where my V came from, hope it is just a typo.

GMC painted most glove box doors and cluster bezels keyed to the trim color vs the sheetmetal like Chevy did.

[FrankenCub]

ok, thanks Tim ;-) It will remain that way then.

Did my truck come with carpets

[SS Tim]

No, while your truck does have the RPO Z62 Custom Comfort and Appearance package it did not include carpet. In your case black rubber floor matting is correct. If you have carpet it was added.

I can't remember if I posted mine up in here or not so here goes....first is my Custom Camper parts truck, second is my BB stepper (thanks Chipflyer) and the third is our 70 GMC BB Sierra Grande (in line for resto...finally got the org title in hand WHOO HOO!)

[ls1nova71]

Ok, I have a question. Were white wall tires standard on any level of truck? I would think Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super, since all the old pics of them they seem to have them, but they're not listed. You see optional tire sizes often, but mine has H78x15 belted white for an optional tire. Is that an optional size, or just the white wall option? My truck is a Custom Deluxe.

[SS Tim]

Both actually. The H78/15B tires were upgrade sizes and sometimes a required option dependng on how the truck was ordered. They were available as blackwall highway and/or on/off road tread and also as white stripe highway tread tires. The RPO PV6 you have is a set of five H78/15B bias belted white stripe highway tires.

As far as I know white stripe tires were not standard on any of these trucks nor at any trim level. However there may have been "specials" that included them but not the Inflation Fighter (YF7) nor the "Highlander Package" trucks (YG6,YG7 or YG8).

BTW: Thanks for leaving the year and plant codes up.

[ls1nova71]

Speaking of Inflation Fighters, here's my old dark blue one.

Also, I don't usually get too worried about posting VIN numbers on SPIDs, but the green one is my own personal truck, so I just blocked off the last part of it. I saw where you had asked for people to leave the first part and I didn't see any harm in that. This truck I don't have anymore, so you get the whole number.

[mrolds88]

Here's mine. 72 BB 3/4 Sierra. Not the most optioned truck. But not bad. Interesting though they used the Cheyenne designation on the SPID.

Mine is 106705. That's a fair jump outside your current range.

I like it! Considering something similar for a custom build I am doing.

Steve, Thank You that is exactly the sort of data point I needed. Since my lowest was 125800 range yours seems to indicate this ran from start of production to near 167800. Unfortunately many people do not provide a full VIN making it a difficult task to nail issue like this down. But even only giving a year and plant is a lot more helpful than nothing.
So being as your is such a low number I'd say it was a 9/69 build. What date are you showing on the block ID stamp and did you find a broadcast/build sheet?

See posts 202, 205 and 210 for the back story here.

Here is blues spid

[cheyenne shortstep]

Funny I was searching for this thread with no luck, hijacked a thread to ask SSTim for a link, he responded then it's at the top thanks to Ol Blu K20. Anywhoo here's a few from some dearly de-parted trucks and a Blazer I gutted, the Blazer was one of the rustiest I've ever seen.

[Ol Blue K20]

I saw your hijack and remembered I never posted mine so it's your fault I found it..

[BigRed76]

Here's the one from the '70 Custom Camper 20 I got recently that is now becoming a K20...

[BigRed76]

And the one of my '72 GMC parts truck

[FirstOwner69]

Here's mine on my 69 CST/20. When I bought this truck new one of the conditions of the sale for the dealer (Barton's Chevrolet in Yorba Linda, CA) to install power brakes prior to delivery. So, I wrote "Power Brakes" on the SPID. How was I to know I should have written "Brake Booster Equip". Hell, I was just a kid!
