Here's one I found that may be slightly out of order with another data point (post #68).

72 chevy
2Z163961
I believe build date shows 4/28/72

The truck from post 68 is blurry, likely 4-28-72 as it is within 85 trucks of this one. Certainly within the possibility of being on the same day?
If so, these are the first two I remember confirmed from the same day.

Yes, I think it is possible they were from the same day, given the blurriness of the one photo.

Does anyone know how the "job sequence number" (see very top left of build sheets) impacted production?

The truck in post #68:
Serial Number: 2Z164046
Job Sequence Number: 03114

The truck in post #89
Serial Number: 2Z163961
Job Sequence Number: 03x09 (guessing 03009, or less likely 03809)

It is interesting that even though the serial numbers are 85 numbers apart, the job sequence numbers appear to be at least 105 off from each other.

I'm wondering if it is possible that a certain batch of serial numbers started on a given day and then received their production date when finished assembling. If there were multiple assembly lines, perhaps some lower serial numbers could actually have a slightly later assembly completion date. ...just thinking/guessing out loud.
