Somewhat useless Truck trivia... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just went to look at the SIPD for my K10. Nothing at all listed of any sort for the disc brakes. My K was built in St. Louis, I see the 2WD SIPD you show was built in Fremont (?) Z ?

Thinking maybe a variation in the different plants producing these trucks in the way the SIPD tags are produced and coded? No idea, my truck is pretty basic, Custom/10 with only a few options listed. Can't today, have to leave shortly but will get a pic of the SIPD posted to this thread at another time.

All 4 wheel drive 71-72’s had power brakes standard. Trucks and Blazers both

3/4 ton and 1 ton 2wd 71-72’s all had power brakes as standard also

I don't believe disc brakes is something you could order. I am sure i have seen tool box doors on pre 71 trucks also.

It doesn't appear to have ever had the holes for the scripts. Possibly it was built on a hangover Monday and the guy forgot to put them on.

Not sure why, but i only recall the scripts on 68 models. Maybe someone with a survivor 71-72 can chime in on this.
