Where was your truck born??
Thought it might be fun to see what plant has the highest survival rate. Sort of a poll. Climate and production numbers I'm sure will play a part here. I've got my money on Freemont being most common. Here's a site if ya don't know to help. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/Chevyear.html
I'll start, my old unit was born in JANESVILLE.  Update: as of 8/25 Atlanta- 9 Baltimore- 10 Flint- 9 Janesville- 7 St louis- 18 Terry town- 1 Freemont- 41 Oshawa- 4

Re: Where was your truck born??
St. Louis. There's a fair chance that it's never been more than 600 miles away from there.

Re: Where was your truck born??
My 68 GMC C20 was made in Flint Michigan but looks like it spent it's entire life in California. Is there a way to find out which dealership originally sold it?
Should have made this thread a poll so it tracks the results. |

Re: Where was your truck born??
I'm guessing you would have to trace back to the original owner?

That is all I can decode. The cowboy that slapped it together kept the titles which I have photocopies of to keep the MN state people happy. The interior is 1968, 50th anniversary white and gold and the tail gate appears to be that golden anniversary color. I only found enough of the build sheet in the seat to confirm the 50th anniversary code. Not enough remained to determine the build location. The 350 that I made a 383 is out of a KC built 1971 Monte Carlo. The tranny and xfer came out of a 1972 Blazer - I didn't bother to get a VIN on that vehicle the dude was dismantling. The bed that I purchased dismantled over in cheesehead land was said by the PO to come out of Colorado. Again - no clue where that was originally built. I did say it was a mutt. Didn't I? Maybe we should have a thread about who has the most unoriginal, original looking truck. The most opposite of survivor.

Re: Where was your truck born??
Mine was ordered at Spedding Chevrolet in Denver Co. It was built in St Louis and moved California a year after delivery. I'm the second owner and good friends with the first.
