I never had the build sheet that is usually under the bench seat but my truck did come with the Original Dealership Imprint Plate. I was just wondering how many of the owner's in this forum have this Imprint Plate. Mine has the paperwork with the dealership that it was first sold at as well.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
Got em....I don't think it's super rare, but it gives you a nice feeling that it was likely taken good care of over the years.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
Difficult to say how many are still around. The dealers were supposed to take them when the warranty was up. I lucked out, all four of our trucks still have them.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
I agree that it is not rare. I think when selling a truck that the history of it is very important. Paperwork and receipts and anything that tells the story where the truck started to where it's at now is what holds it's value. You can't really run a vin check on vehicles this old to get the history so it is all about what you have (pictures/receipts/stuff to show authenticity of vehicle. I think it is kind of like a birth certificate for a truck when you have that little piece of history to tell the story of it. Thanks for the responses.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
The good thing about a protect-o-plate (imprint plate) is that it is the closest way to tell if your truck has the original engine. These trucks do not have a vin # on the engines like alot of cars do, but they do have a suffix code like TLM and a engine build date. This code and exact date are also on the protectoplate.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
I am the 3rd owner of my Suburban and have mine, Along with much of the documentation that came with her new...
Love the history of these old things, when I was digging through my stuff I found a stack of maintenance invoices in the back of the owners manual from over the years for various parts and service and I thought that was really neat! Last edited by Number98; 06-03-2011 at 07:19 AM. |

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
I have the Protect-O-Plate from my '64 Bonneville. My '69 didn't come with any of its' original paperwork....in fact, there was no glovebox liner in it. However, the SPID on the glovebox yields the info I need AND the ID on the block says it is an OEM engine for my truck. The code is correct, and reflects what it is and what it is for.
It would be good to have all that nice paperwork, but it is what it is. As for my '96 GMC...a future owner will get all that stuff, including the window sticker.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
My 67 is from Canada and this is what my protect-o-plate looks like. More like a plastic bank card than a metal imprinted plate.

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???

Re: Dealer Imprint Plate???
my first longorn had most of the papers, including window sticker, protecto plate, recall for motor mounts, and a few other cool pieces. My second truck... I was lucky to have the correct title. My one ton I have now, all it came with was the build sheet. In my burb, it has the books, and registration for all owners, but no other papers.
