Thank you -

Yes - good examples - in the examples you have posted it looks like the trucks were built "straight through", meaning the PVI (not the dealer order number) and the final line GA sequence number were the same. No shuffling occured after body shop or after paint. The stamped portion was done in body shop after the cab was welded up and then the grease pencil after paint.

Were those Fremont trucks, perhaps? Fremont built straight through (no shuffling).

Re: Following my truck down the line: I wish now I had kept some of the paperwork (the build manifest, build sheet, inspection paperwork, etc) from that day but I didn't even think of it until recently. I actually followed two of my own personal trucks down the line for fun - but now I follow preproduction builds down the line for a living.

Probably not; then we would just argue with each other...
