Re: The build date project

This is really turning out, thanks for the effort. Still can't zero my 72 Fremont 146xxx down to a single month, but pretty close. Fremont was really pushing them out too, they may have approached 9K a month at the time.

Any chance 71/72 Chevy Fremont trucks were the most plentiful? The results so far seem to imply so, perhaps age just caught up to 67-70.

Without specific dates you can't tell how many were produced per month, but here's where my 72 C20 would fall for Fremont, as a guide.......146xxx would be Feb. or Mar.

135708 Jan.
153077 Mar. Increased by 17369
161544 April Increased by 8467
164046 April Increased by 2502
168790 May Increased by 4744

I developed an assembly guide (kit) for restoring this truck from the ground up, complete with details including full hardware descriptions. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM. My build thread, with some info. about the assembly kit https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025

I'm thinking Flint trucks may have been most plentiful (at least in '72) based on several VINs found online that start with a "3" after the "F" in the vin....as in 200,000+ (the first one started at 100,000) serial numbers for '72 Chevy Flint trucks. Just haven't been able to correlate build dates with those VINs that I am seeing.
