The build date project

Of the 3 sheets I have only one is complete enough to help.

Thank you sir, added to the top list!

Hopefully, this is what you're looking for.

The build sheet is from my '72 GMC 4WD short stepside truck. I found it under the seat stuffed in the springs.

The blue tag, and sales order is from my '72 GMC Jimmy.

I hope they can help you.

Very helpful. I added the Jimmy to post 2 but could not see the numbers well enough from the build sheet on the short step side. I am sure we will settle on one list (post 1 or post 2)but for now we are ironing out the bugs. Like 57taskforce said, adding Jimmys/Blazers might confuse things somewhat.

Maybe I’m in left field? It might be best to have a similar list of them going in their individual sections? Anyone have thoughts on this?
I added your GMC short K10 ptjsk.

I'll add my 2 cents...

I think the blazers and suburbans should be mixed in with the other serial numbers (and maybe noted in parentheses as you have been doing). It appears to me that every model was mixed together as it came down the assembly line. Any proof otherwise?

You guys are doing a great job compiling and laying out the info, but I'm going to nitpick a little (it's the engineer in me):
-Fremont is spelled with only one "e."
-Under each year and make, I think we should keep the list sorted purely by serial number, not by date. ie. Don't intermix 2F1 with 2F3. Sorting by serial number I think will make it easier to look up our build dates in the future when our list is bigger.

Regardless, I'll be looking for more data points to add!

I can look into those things, no problem. Geunther and myself elected to continue to add the blazer/suburban’s for now to see how it all plays out. If the need arises in the future we will address it then. I will look into the 2F1vs2f3, I agree it might make things easier especially as more trucks come in. With as much leg work as you’re doing you deserve the right to nitpick

Without a secondary sort feature we have to sort by date or by VIN but not both obviously. With it being a build date project, I would be more inclined to have the date sort have priority. Other wise you would have two sets of dates for Flint for 71 and 72. I am not saying that is a bad idea. I think we will continue to learn more about the pattern and hope to identify why they jumped to 2F3 then back to 2F1.

Of course we could just utilize 2 sorts for Flint? I am sure we are yet to identify all the anomalies.

Wow, they traded in a 69 Charger for that truck. I'm sure it had the Hemi
