The build date project

[402Bowtie]

Just noticed....Anyone else realize that it appears there were dedicated assembly lines in 1972 at the Flint plant? One for trucks (2F3 and 2F7 serial numbers) and another assembly line for Blazers and Suburbans (2F1 and 2F3 serial numbers).

But it appears that in 1971 the two lines did all models--trucks, blazers, and suburbans.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe the above is not 100% true. The 2F1 truck in post 235 disproves my theory.

72 Chevy
2F138542 = TBD (post 299) another 2F1 serial number that isn't a Blazer or Suburban. Has me curious...Wondering if any patterns will develop.

70 GMC
AZ58225 = 7/70 (post 299) on the paper you can see a 7 for build month.

70 Blazer
0S118657 = post-10/10/69 (post 299, Blazer) 10/10 engine build date

72 GMC
2Z503349 = pre-11/19/71 (post 299)

72 Blazer
2F160356 = 03/22/72 - 03/31/68 (post 301, Blazer) 82nd day of 1972 = 3/22

70 chevy
0B132178 = 01/22/70 (post 301) The engine build date (01/27) is later than the truck build date. If that was a common occurrence, that blows a hole in how I have been calculating many of the build dates.

68 chevy
8A163982 = TBD (post 302) currently the last 8A truck on our list

70 chevy
0Z122653 = 11/12/69 (post 302)

69 chevy
9Z873496 = 06/24/69 (post 302) 175th day of 1969. Similar to post 290. I read a thread where someone suggested "DD" stands for "delivery date." The way the plate is stamped, the factory would have had to have stamped it (unless the dealership re-riveted it with correct rivets?), so I'm counting it as a build date until someone more knowledgeable can explain the process.

72 Blazer
2F181311 = 6/72 (post 302, Blazer)

In updating my list on post 50 today, I realized we are limited to 50,000 characters per post. Therefore, I have split my list into two lists: GMC's on post 63 and Chevy's on post 64. Both are updated through post 302.

Tyler--you'll be running into the same problem soon too. FYI (Edit: on second thought, you may be ok for a while. I think my hyperlinks are eating up my 50k-character allowance.)
