I've also got some frustrations with the capabilities of the forum/website software that add some challenges to this project. But I agree with taskforce on the confusion piece... I think we carry on with what we have and make it work. I'll keep trying to provide a link to my lists on my most recent post if that helps anyone.

I am now updated through this post (334).

GMC list

Chevy list

One other thing I've been thinking about (and am open to discussion on):

If there isn't much value in a serial number (ie. unknown build date, or if the same information such as the build month could have been determined from two serial numbers already on the list), I don't think we should add it to the list. It clutters the thread and the list. Some exceptions I propose are 1) if it is potentially the last serial number for that plant and year, 2) you want to see your truck's serial number on the list, 3) it is the only serial number for a given plant/year on the list, or 4) it is potentially the last Blazer or Jimmy built at the St. Louis plant in 1972 (appears to be sometime in March '72).

Let's keep truckin!
