Does anyone have a 71-72 Chevy or GMC built in September AND have a protecto plate? What letter code does it have for the build month?

Based on the last picture in post 355 it appears my build month decoder (post 311) may be wrong for 71-72.

Depending on how many digits you want to share, yes, it could still be helpful.

I'm curious about a September protecto plate in particular. We don't have any examples on our thread. I want to know if a "I" or "J" was used for the build month.

Feb 15 to be more precise. Thanks! That helps confirm the date in post 356.


I'll try to get my list updated today.

Thanks to this project, I was able to identify my 2J1651XX date. For that I wanted to do my part, Thanks. Here is a picture of my 1970 (0T124442) 4/70 door sticker to add.

[K_JR69]

Just to add while I was looking around in here.
Under JamesRKing72, thread 71 Blue Jay, post #3, he has a picture of a door sticker with 1S615768, build date 12/70.

Thanks for posting! Here's both of those in jpg format.

Our list is growing (and the hyperlinks consume a lot of the allowable characters per post), so I have moved the 72 chevy list to a third post.

I'm now updated through post 365.

GMC on post 63
67-71 Chevy on post 64
72 Chevy on post 65



1B646308 = 5/71 (post 365)

8F133264 = pre-01/16/68 (post 365)

[402Bowtie]

8A124970 = 12/67 (post 366) little bit of a guess on this one, but thinking that is a "D" for the build month.

7S127823 = 12/12/66 - 12/31/66 (post 366)


7B150267 = TBD (post 366) last 7B on list

I appreciate you posting, but I would still propose that we only include VINs and dates that add new information. In other words, we could have deduced the same build month for that vin just by looking at the list. Additionally, character count limits are something I'm trying to keep in mind also. So if ok with you, I think I'm going to leave that one off the list.

It's amazing to me that after 15 pages of documented dates there's still only two 69 Tarrytown chevrolets

If the rust that's under my 68 is any indication of those trucks
And it spent 3 years upstate before coming west.
I'd bet they're gone after a life in the Salt

Agreed... And not many other years.

Probably due to the winter salt on the roads as KQQL IT said. I grew up a few miles from the Tarrytown plant. Toured it when I was 18, but by then it was building econoboxes...

ZZ50997 = 09/17/69 (post 375)

2S124072 = 9/71 (post 375) odd that some of the equipment dates are 10/13 and 10/09.
