Yeah, I bet it is. The guy with the Blazer is installing 3/4 running gear. I think I am going to have to buy them from him.

[68panelman]

Definitely do, you don't see that combo too often

[Mick54615]

Here's mine. Odd original color/interior combo.

[Mick54615]

Sorry, here it is right side up.

[DeadheadNM]

Yellow w blue interior? Too cool. What year? More pics please.

[tjsblazer]

I agree. Yellow and blue. Very cool. Any pics of it in this colour combo?
Your spid pic looks like it has been painted blue now.

[Mick54615]

It's a 1970. It was already repainted blue when I bought it.

Nothing really unusual for Flint, its a very early 72 during the inital SPID format change over (content very similar to a build sheet). As you can see in the lower left, both the top and the color are still using the earlier AA sufix codes.

1Z58AA [ AUXILIARY TOP-WHITE ]
1510AA [ MEDIUM BLUE ]

Did you notice the P17 spare tire cover included wih hardtop CSTs?

[DeadheadNM]

Thanks Tim. I caught the rpo for the paint was just puzzled by lack of the descriptor. Yes I did see the spare tire cover listed - interesting that it is listed separately as the cover is included w the CST package. Any guess as to an assembly month?

Don't forget, by the book, the cover was only included on CSTs with the optional hard top. You are seeing the cover there because these early 72 SPIDs from Flint included almost all the build options and not just the specifics not otherwise part of a package. Of note the standard capacity springs and even the VIN plate are called out.

A build date is hard to nail but I can tell you the last 71 light duty trucks there ~3400 were built in July of 71 off both 6xxxxx and the 8xxxxx assembly lines.

Seeing as this is a very low sequence number @ 2567 I'd say it is a late August 71 build. Be interesting to see the blue certification sticker's date or the Protect-O-Plate. Plus there is always the engine assembly code too.

Possibly early Flint SPID? Sadly, VIN not included.

1969 Blazer VINs used a "B" rather than a "C". B for Blazer?

[72 paul]

Thanks, is a T 1970?
