LOF window codes

[cericd]

Sorry but my 1970 C10 isn't an Atlanta truck, it's a St. Louis truck built in 11-69. Originally sold in Paris TX.

All the glass appears to be original.

The LOF codes are as follows:

Windshield - YV7 - Oct 69 - Ottawa,IL
Back Glass - AV7 - Sept 69 - Ottawa,IL
DS Vent - TV7 - Aug 69 - Ottawa,IL
DS Door - YV7 - Oct 69 - Ottawa,IL
PS Vent - AV7 - Sept 69 - Ottawa,IL
PS Door - YV7 - Oct 69 - Ottawa,IL

I find it interesting that there are two codes for ottawa il. doesnt seem correct in my opinion. I never saw any lof plant that had two codes?? BROWN 70

That list has East Toledo, OH on there twice as well, for tempered vs. laminated. Could that also have been why there were two Ottawa plant codes?

Yeah, I though that was odd too. I had the same thought as pjmoreland about the duplicate Ottawa codes. I just filled in the month/year and plant info according to the info that has been mentioned in this thread. I found it interesting since I had never paid much attention to the codes on my glass.

In my time at lathrop as stated prior we made tempered and laminated glass. all were marked #10. things can get muddy with anything automotive especially when the trucks are this old. generally, I would say the info here is very good. just question the double plant codes. good stuff, BROWN 70

Everybody’s input so far is very helpful and appreciated. Cericd, the info on your truck here is especially helpful. 7 seems very common from East to West coast. With a few 10s mixed in, I’m starting to wonder if 7 and 10 were the truck glass supplying plants. Does that make any sense BROWN70?

yeah anything is possible. at lathrop all I saw was #10 we made chevy glass olds glass and buick glass. much of the glass fit similar cars. a bodys etc. our q.c. division would come by the tempering area at least once an hour and break the glass to see if it was tempered correctly.( breaking into small enough pieces). i.e. at lathrop we made glass for many model gm cars and trucks. we moved to ca. in 1963 so my dad could work there from rossford ohio.
