Re: 1968 Chevrolet C20 w/ build sheet and Protect-O-Plate

A few more of the SPID and some of the build sheet both where I found it and after I removed it.

Notice the factory typed over the M20 option description line with a different font and a different option. Makes me wonder if the truck was supposed to be built with the rear leaf spring suspension option but they screwed up and built it with trailing arms.

I can't see any evidence of the original M20 transmission description being removed or covered up and there is no obvious damage to the label in that area so most likely the factory did this to write over the area. I don't know why they just didn't make a new label or even just put the option out of numerical sequence at the end of the list. What makes it more unusual is that the option isn't even on the truck as it has trailing arms with the secondary overload springs and the VIN on the frame matches the truck.
