I am missing some piece of interior trim > Dash Knob that goes in the upper right corner of the dash. What goes there?

Thanks again for the help and guidance, so much to learn...

If you are going for a stock 68 look, houndstooth isn't it. But then I really don't like houndstooth and wouldn't even put it in my 69 Camaro.

The upper right is the base engine manual choke knob location. Trucks optioned with automatic choke engines had a square GM logo cover filling the bezel hole.

True enough... Will go with the stock look seat cover.

A GM logo cover..., I'm going to have to get one of those since the original owner swapped out the manual choke Q-Jet for a Electric choke version. Is that a search for in the parts for sale section, ebay search or LMC/Classic Industries repop part?

Thanks!

I bought this truck from a guys estate. I was bummed that the SPID was missing from the glovebox door. Just received an email from the son of the second owner. They found this in the old guys garage. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1526767396

The q-jet engines like you 327 were automatic choke and had the filler.
Here is a very original blue trim Custom 20 327 interior as a reference.

What is the difference between 3 digit option and 6 digit option SPID's?

Were they changed to 6 digits after specific year?

Bill

**davischevy** · 06-24-2018, 09:14 PM

The number of digits varied by assembly plant.

The actual RPO code is always the three characters in the middle.

The additional characters (when used) provided more info about the RPO code, like clutch type, etc. When those fell into disuse they were often replaced with just dummy characters to fill the spaces, which is obvious when all of the RPO codes have the same leading and ending characters.

There was no specific breakpoint for changing over to the pure three digit code, and it varied by plant and model year even through the squarebody era.

Hello guys..I have two questions for you about my SPID. The 1st question is what does the SE stand for and the 2nd question is where can I find out the the information in that section stand for?

Thanks,

Herb

**CS1972** · 06-29-2018, 02:01 PM

Here's one from a 1972 Cheyenne that I looked at in Austin a few weeks ago.

1970 C-10...Question on making a new SPID tag. Since mine has been gone along time and my truck had very few options, Should I make it like it was from the factory? Or, Make it like new with all the new stuff added to it?

In the end, I think it's personal preference.
If you're trying to preserve an original truck and/or tag stay factory. On the other hand, if you're changing the truck up to be what you want, why not go for a tag that reflects it.

A pic of the truck along with the spid would neat

stormtown · 07-01-2018, 07:25 AM

Is anyone remaking SPID tags? My truck is getting ready for paint and someone had painted the inside of the door black so I will mask off but not always confident the masking will work.

Contact Jeff (Jeff@outintheshop.com) I just had him do one for me, and it's an exact duplication of the original. He does great work.

Oh I meant along with a spid pic, the truck could be included to see how far it has or hasn't been changed in the last 50 some years

Chevys4life · 07-01-2018, 01:29 PM

I will take a decent picture of the old boy and upload it so that you guys can see it. Then you can see what has been done to it. Someone changed the original color to Matt black and I want to change it back to the original color combination one day.
