Well then I wonder if it is a mid year 68 thing. I have a 69 here that has the short numbers and the build sheets for 2 68s and they have the short numbers... Interesting

Don't know if this will help or not, this is off a '68 Burb that the build sheet says was built on April 20th, 1968, and has the long number. It's not a COPO or anything special, except for being a 50th.

It's hard to see, but the build sheet has the short #

And is it a '67 thing that has the paint code in one of the top boxes? Just wondering.

Pritch, Thanks for the reminder...I looked up my 50th Longhorn that was built on July 3, 1968 and it has the long number. So they must have changed to the short numbers after the 4th of July in the Fremont plant at least. I thinking a '69 change to short numbers unless somebody has a truck that says otherwise. The new cars used to hit the showrooms on September 27 so production had to be switching to '69's by early August at least.

I also noticed that the '67 glove box sheet was different. It was brown and had the color in the top whereas the '68's were blue and had wheelbase where the paint was on the '67. Just a note I'm sure you already noticed.

EDIT: Wait a minute...John's '67 glove box sticker looks blue...what gives here. Did each plant have its own sticker? I wonder if there are any other colors out there?
