Heres another one with the white band on top. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=525857

Here are some pages I found explaining the white strip on the top of the spid sheet and a 4 digit "Special Equipment " Numbers on the two spid sheets.

Wow, thanks for posting those pages, those answered a few questions for me (special paint, that strip at the top, the special equipment number)

Here's mine. I haven't seen another that looks like brushed-on glue was used to adhere the sticker.

question guys, have not looked yet but can anyone tell me if this sticker is available in a blank form to make a reproduction of the original tag or in my case a custom tag?

Re: 66 SPID sticker language - share and learn!
 
If I dont have the SPID for my truck, is there anyway from the VIN what my truck came with?

cortcomp 02-03-2013 04:41 PM

Re: 66 SPID sticker language - share and learn!
 
No way to decode from vin (why i started this thread), think only 66 and newer came with them (none factory for 60-65). There are several ways to make your own (some here have blanks, or you can buy blanks from restoration places) but i'm told that a member here runs this site and does the most accurate ones, feel free to clarify if that info is wrong:

Re: 66 SPID sticker language - share and learn!
 
hey cortcomp, i'm not sure if you're talking about me but i have a sharp file for this spid and have it layed out with a real similar type face. i sent you a sample of one for the dually i built or the suburban, not sure which. but once the codes and option numbers are figured out... i can make you one.
mine is the second pic in your 3rd post.


and thanks for starting this thread... this is great info.

Hey Guys,
I am the member who reproduces these for the 67-72 folks and I have done a few for people with 1966 trucks. I don't have a lot of original information for 66 but I will say this thread has a great deal of excellent info in it and you should be able to come up with just about any option that was available. Below is an example of the label I make (printed on plain paper), it is a permanent adhesive backed label that I feel is very similar to the original thickness and texture and the characters (font) I use are exactly like they were done originally. If you are interested send an email to Jeff@outintheshop.com.

I've been doing some more digging for info on these codes.

I have to retract a statement I made earlier that I was thinking the letter codes after the option codes on the SPID sheet were the same as build sheet codes. I think they are called ECL's , they basically told you the combinations that came with a certain option or if another option affected that option that code would mean what was needed to work both options together.

Also found the Special order option 4 number code on one of the two of these SPID sheets we have so far. The rear axle on cortcomp's spid of 9512 is a 3:73 Positraction . Will keep digging.

Re: 66 SPID sticker language - share and learn!
 
ECL stands for EXCEPTION CONTROL LETTER in a Corvette forum I looked at. They say it allows the line worker to install the proper piece that goes onto the vehicle for compatibility with an option. Interesting stuff.
