St.louis plant

[bradley7576]

I'm curious how many 67 C10's were built there... My vin number the last of it is 36000 and I was wondering if it was the last 67 built there.. anyone have a clue?

See post #64 here. It sounds like your vin is 7S136000, in which case it was likely manufactured in January 1967. Also, there were roughly 60k other chevy trucks made at that plant after yours.

Thanks I was hoping it was the last 67 to roll out of that plant but it's ok😀

Hope! My retirement plan.

Does anyone have a "confirmed" model year, last or 1st truck made?

I believe there are 1st day of "production" dates and last days known, but individual vehicles? Corvettes maybe, trucks? Doubtful IMO but would be a novelty if so.

I used to go down there to do new product launch, back between 1979 and 1986 or so.

My folks are from down there (the Bootheel: Kennett and Senath, specifically) but moved to Michigan to work in the auto factories during the great migration of the 1950's.

I was sitting in the Wentzville plant a few years ago and was like "hey! Wait a minute! If there is a GM plant right here WHY DID MY PARENTS MOVE TO MICHIGAN?!"






Now that I think about it: You and I might be related...

(lol)

Not usually.

It would have to be something super significant, like this last truck out of Janesville.

There were some model years where the line didn't even stop. We called those "Rolling Model Changes" and the only difference was a paper sign in the windshield saying "First 1982" or something. They might leave an empty carrier between the last truck and the first truck.

Sometimes they didn't even re-set the VINs. Just kept right on counting.
