Not conclusive, but might add a little value to suggest they were painting the latches on day 1 of the 72 model year... Or is that a stretch?
Sidenote: why is the vin 142S and not 182S? |
Thanks for keeping the thread alive and raising cases. Fun to chase this down.
The 4 is odd as that denotes a pickup model. Model is correctly called out as 8 in the body of the SPID. The wheel base number font also differs from that used for the VIN - note the 1 and 4 differ in terms of font. Looks like a fleet ordered Blazer? Error at time of assembly as regards the SPID?
