Almost.

Keep in mind if there were other nameplates with separate VIN sequences inserted in there that would push it back a job or two (so maybe number 13 or 14, allowing for a couple GMCs in there).

Additionally, it might take a full day to build the first truck only, as production problems are ironed out or material issues overcome. Then the next day goes better, and you continue to ramp up as things smooth out.

Probably not on the first day, but no way to know for sure unless you were there. Definitely very early, though.
