This is Flint Assembly in Flint Michigan.

You can see body drop is taking place at column number "X-22".

In this photo of Flint body drop during the square body era (1979) you can see the column marked "X-22". Line 2 Blazer/Suburban.

Most factory photos are taken in Flint or Pontiac, due to their proximity to "headquarters" (either the engineering staff in Pontiac or the GM Tech Center in Warren).

They wouldn't be taken at a satellite location unless there was some specific and compelling reason to travel (eg, plant opening in Fremont, or new model that's not built in the home plant area, etc).

Very true from my findings. Brand new truck photos on the west coast are usually on haulaway trailers or at dealerships.
