Interesting 69 CST part-out... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 12-26-2009, 01:27 AM

Parted out this blazer yesterday. Only had a few hours before closing but i did what i could. Notice the CST side markers without any light provisions. I also don't recall ever seeing both transmission option codes for the auto. I also don't recall seeing a BK for the start of the vin. And just to top it off, i think the seats are the 69 only maroon color. Enjoy the pics as it is already squished by now...

Funny part is i have tried to buy this over the last several years when it was running and driving. I guess they took out the running gear and put a newer blazer on it. (square body). Here is a pic of a sticker in between the double top also. Last pic is the window frame i saved.

That is some odd stuff:
*`69-only seat color
*I`ve never seen anything but M49 for either THauto.
*"B" prefix????Whuh?

1956cameo · 12-26-2009, 12:40 PM

Wish stuff like that would come up in my local junkyards. I could have used the rear hatch! If you happen to sell the seats let me know.

**special-K** · 12-26-2009, 01:19 PM

I thought the same thing.A good hatch is worth $300+.

**too much stuff** · 12-26-2009, 01:28 PM

Rear hatch was junk... It was busted all the way through where the handle would have been... Also busted up some by the hinges.

Longhorn Man · 12-27-2009, 12:20 AM

the M38 is car RPO talk for TH350 if memory serves... I've seen it on a few truck SPIDs, but never any documentation of it. It was supposed to be the M49 for TH350 or TH400.
That BKS is just weird.

sucks to see them end up in a pile like that

the front clip on the left 84-87 looks good too

It does suck that they end up there. I am just happy the owner lets me in to buy parts. The last owner let no one in for anything!
I think the front clip on the burb was junk also. Look in the second pic and you will see.

Sad. My Blazer is also a BKE149S vin, made only a few thousand units before that one at the same plant. The "B" prefix is still a mystery; it is on the doorjamb plate as well:

**too much stuff** · 12-27-2009, 11:14 PM

All i can think is the B was for blazer. I didn't look at the door jamb vin to see if it was the same.

**special-K** · 12-28-2009, 09:40 AM

Would a GMC have a "J" maybe?The mystery continues...

69TowRig · 12-28-2009, 11:03 AM

I have only heard/seen this on '69s. Since the Jimmy came out in 70 it might have never had strange characters added to the VIN.

roger0080 · 12-29-2009, 02:56 AM

"B" was for for Blazer as mentioned, was a 1969 thing only, first year production for Blazers.

Jim_PA · 12-29-2009, 08:13 AM

Turns out this one is a Pennsylvania only package... something to do with registration and titling a 3/4 ton truck on a 1/2 ton registration or something....
