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

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Sorry, here it is right side up.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here's mine

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Flint built 72 CST w Canadian Equip

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

My 72 CST...

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Interesting SPID from a 1972 MY Flint Blazer - I don't see the paint description listed

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Possibly early Flint SPID? Sadly, VIN not included.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Happy Now? :-)

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

LOL! Suspicion confirmed. Early Flint, 2x wall top. Thanks.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here's one from 69...rear step bumper!!

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Whats the B in front of the K on the vin last post?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

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

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Thanks, is a T 1970?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

"T" should denote a GMC - my 1972 K1500 VIN begins with T so not year specific.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Had a GMC JIMMY let go of couple yrs ago, never paid attention to the spid.Learn something about these trucks everyday thanks Paul.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

If there is a "T" prefix as in TKE182F.... it is a 1972 GMC Jimmy. GM started using a division code prefix in 72 with "T" for GMC and "C" for Chevrolet. See the decoders linked in my signature for more info.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Me too!

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

I've had my blazer for about a year and a half and I've learned a lot from this forum so far. I figured it was time for me to start contributing instead of just reading so here's my spid.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Thanks for posting the SPID!
Have you been able to identify how your Blazer paint is special? In your case I am thinking its the overall body color.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Yes I believe that's the difference. The original color (still on the inside of the glove box door) is a bright gold color. The 2nd owner had it repainted and the current color is real close to the original color but several shades darker. PPG matched the original color to a color called Walt Disney Gold. I don't think there's any significance though, because the matched color has a 5-digit paint code and PPG was still using 4-digits back in the 70's as far as I can tell.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Thanks again! Unfortunately special paint SPIDs do not reflect the colors nor specific variations from production paint schemes. Often its simply a GM car line or earlier discontinued truck line color we see in cases like this. Are we going to see any pictures of your Blazer posted as well?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Pics would be nice. Even though it's not the overall stock color it is still close.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Sorry for the delay. Been out of pocket these last couple days. Here's a couple pics.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Just picked this up last night.

Pete, didn't all 69 blazer vins start with a B? (for blazer I assume?)

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Nice Eric! What's the story? That's my understanding, 69 Blazer VINs begin with a B.

Here's another 69 - interesting how GM painted the inside of at least some tops to match the interior color in 69

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Spid

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here's another 69 that just surfaced on ebay - B for Blazer :) Note the red (faded) hub dials and paint (OEM) on the inside of the top.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Huh - any Flint built 69 Blazers??

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

That last red one on eBay looks just like a model one I built when I was younger. Pretty awesome. Hard to believe any stayed stock so many years.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Yep, the inside of this top is green to match the interior. No plans at the moment for it. Pretty rough shape.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

my 1972 jimmy

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Wow, that's one loaded Jimmy, got a truck pic?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Ts1972 that truck gas it all lol. They could have put all mine in one side of the column on the spid. Would also see truck
Pic. Mine is also blue.
