Looking for 1970 St. Louis VINs for Suburbans built Jan/Feb/Mar '70

[IronCanine]

Hi Guys,

I've got a 1970 Blazer with a VIN KE180S1451XX. The blue build date sticker is missing and I have no other documentation to determine the build month. By using the date stamps of items original to the truck (instrument cluster 12-19-69, dash pad 12-22-69) I can guess that it was probably built in January or February of 1970 (maybe March). If any of you have a 1970 St. Louis built Chevy (VIN fifth digit=0, sixth digit=S) and you have a build date sticker in the door jam of 1/70, 2/70, or 3/70...could you post your ending VIN sequence 1000XX, so that by process of elimination we could nail down my build month.

...hope this makes sense. Thanks to you all.

Please take a look if you have a 70 St.Louis built "S" Chevy Suburban (or other model) VIN coded XXXX0SXXXXXX with a blue door sticker.
Not sure, then please check and even try your hand at the decoders.

I've been with GM for 36 years in assembly, product design/development, new product launch and engineering program management. Been in about 12 different GM assembly plants (...plus one Ford plant - lol).

As of this minute I have design/release responsibility for the K2XX pickup cab and box, plus the GMT610 van bodies.

Starting next month I get a new job in the GM Performance division that I am not at liberty to talk about! (lol)

I ve never heard or seen a St Louis built Suburban or Panel, always thought the St Louis plant never even built them.
Do you know that they did build em?

I think that St louis was one of the main plants for building Blazers & Jimmys, as well as some cars Pickups and Corvette

I don't know. I just assumed if they were building trucks and Blazers there, then suburbans and panels too. Where have you had burbs from? Fremont? Flint?...anyone had a St.Louis Suburban?

Just a quick glance at the Suburban SPID thread (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=616029) ...and it looks like the second SPID was a St. Louis truck...Maybe Leon (LockDoc) could correct me on that. But it does look like most were F or Z built trucks...or Canada of course. I hadn't thought about it too much and was just trying to cast the biggest net on the board to try and narrow down my own build date...but the Blazers were only Flint and St. Louis...no reason burbs and panels couldn't just be Flint and Fremont.
