Re: factory grease pencil marks?
. . . .
My 70 C-10 has them . . . a "635" job number and the letter "B". ( I've always assumed that the "B" was for the Baltimore Plant ) There "WAS" also an "AIR" on the inside of the right fender. ( The truck does have factory air, so that's probably what that meant ) . . . .

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Ill take some picks of what I can. If I'm careful, maybe I can strip the paint and get to the mustard writing.

I thought the same thing about it already being in Baltimore, but it was already BLUE when it was written on the firewall too !!! LOL ( that is the original paint on the firewall ) We'll probably never know for sure. |

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Had this under the green paint. Matched all the grease marks all over the truck. Looks to be painted on with a brush. Built in Janesville.. 68 cab

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Bruce,
here is a 72 Sierra Grande with paint color on the firewall. it looks like it may have been put on before the paint and again in white grease after paint? I have another example with GMC noted from my 69. |

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Also just curious, is that stamp on the firewall edge on 72 only? My 68 don't have it. Or plant specific maybe..

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Any body know what the "4T" on the Sierra Grande firewall stands for? My Cheyenne Super has the same 4T.

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
I have seen 4T in that location on all AC trucks. I have seen an S in the same location on a few non AC trucks. I assume it is AC but have not figured what the T stands for figuring the 4 is four season.

John, Those are great shots of both trucks. Thank you so much for posting those. That's the first time I have seen photos of the double layer ones on a truck, And the full paint colors written out. That is very cool. Really happy to have those. Thank You. ![]() ![]() sboris, So far I have only seen those (stamped into the radius of the firewall)on the Freemont Trucks. I have several 72's and 1 on a 1971. I'm curious to see how many different years can be found.

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Here are some on a 71 Cheyenne I bought. The first is on the back of the header panel of the bed. The second pic shows a number that is on the lower cowl area behind the drivers fender. This truck is a St. Louis truck.

75gmc454, Great pics, thanks! I wonder what that 4 digit number on the side of the cowl is. Here's another one.

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
I don't know??? I wonder why the Z84 Cheyenne code was on the front of the bed? I can take some more pics of other St Louis trucks I have also if you are looking for more.

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
[QUOTE=bruceman1968;6450159]Thanks Jim, I appreciate you doing that, No rush, and please don't strip paint on my account. Just the 215 stamp and the 215 grease markings are a score for me.
![]() No problem Bruce, I'm stripping the cab to bare metal anyway.

Re: factory grease pencil marks?
Has anyone ever seen the front of a bed panel written on with grease pencil ? I have a 67 bed that was written on it happy new year from the spray booth boys 11/31/66 . couldn't believe it when I seen it so we left it on there and sprayed over top of it you can still see it . I wish I would've taken pictures of it but I was young when I restored it that was 1990. Has anyone ever seen this before?
