Spid Locations

[Vandals909]

I have a 1979 and cannot seem to locate the SPID. I looked in the glove compartment and nothing was there except a tag with the van on it saying the truck was not made for slide in camper. I looked on the driver side and passenger side wheel well in the engine compartment and see nothing there. The truck according to the vin was made in Fremont.

They all came with SPID's right? The truck is pretty original I'm doubtful anybody removed it. It even has the original seat

I have a 79 silverado and the SPID came unglued from the glovebox. I bought it from the original owner and it was well taken care of with low mileage. Luckily they had enough forethought to leave it in the glovebox. I'm somewhat new to square bodies moving on from the 67-72 trucks. My 77 is missing the SPID completely and I ordered the dealer invoice from GM Heritage. I think it was well worth the $50 if you are looking to restore to original or just curious how it came from the factory. I've heard of some people finding the build sheet tucked in the seat, but out of 3 square bodies, I havent been so lucky.

Is it under the bottom seat usually? Need to unbolt it? I'm new to square body trucks to

If you can't find it, but want one made, check out this thread.

They were supposed to be thrown away at the completion of the build but usually it was easier to just leave them where they lay; that's why you don't always find one (I've never found one in any of my collector vehicles).

If it is there it would likely be jammed in the lower cushion seat springs. You might be able to lay in the floor and look up under the seat bottom and see it.

With all the seats I have been salvaging for restoration, I haven't found one yet. Found some interesting stuff, but no build sheets.

I'm a bit surprised by that; as many seats as you have done I would have thought you would find one or two by now.

Maybe not hijack this thread any further but I'd be interested in hearing about some of the other interesting stuff you've found.

A lot of spare change, but I'm waiting on the day when I find a big stash of cash!!! Bullets & shells. A lot of gum wrappers, but that would fall under trash. Old business cards, so I always knew if the seat was from a work truck. Had a few with broken glass. I found a rusty old wrench between the seats, I use it in the blaster cabinet now, to hold onto the small parts. So now the wrench is rust free now!! I had one that had some sort of shipping document between the seat frame & foam. But it was torn up, I couldn't tell what it would have been for. I first I thought it might be a build sheet, but Indont believe it was.
