Here is the SPID to my 72 Blazer. Factory 2wd. Can someone tell me exactly what the California Assembly and California Processing options consisted of? I know that it was something that vehicles that were destined for California had to have but what was it exactly? I guess that means my Blazer was sold originally in California? I ended up getting it from a board member in Louisiana who found it in Central Georgia. That is all the history about it I have though.




A picture of the blazer in its current under construction state.

Thank you for the compliments!! I wish it had the plaid highlander (that's the z84 right?)seats still in it but looks like the previous owner/owners recovered or got some different seats. These are a couple pics of the first night I got it about a year and a half ago

Here is mine seems to open some questions for me.
I dont see the CST listed like on some others.
Is mine pretending to be a CST? PG

I believe what makes it a custom is the Cheyenne equipment package. You have a nice custom truck!

Correct, the RPO Z84 Cheyenne Equipment line on the SPID is the CST package. No worries there.

Close, RPO Z84 was the CST trim package. Highlanders were an upgrade of the Z84 adding the plaid cloth and special trim combintation. So since you also have the trim code 677, your Blazer was a factory blue plaid Highlander.

...

Basically it amounts to an emission test and an air pump. The heavier trucks so ordered were only certified as meeting California's emissions regs. But the C10s required an actual individual production line emission test.

While it suggests your truck was sold new in California it may have be sold in a bordering state as well. Many dealers whose sales areas would cross state lines ordered stock units with the emission package to maximize sales potential.

Thank you SS Tim for shedding some light on what my California Processing "Option" means.

Sorry. Other pic didn't load. Po replaced the parchment with black

I wish I had a picture of my old 72's SPID... It was loaded but I don't recall ever reconciling its equipment with the sticker.
My recently acquired '69 CST doesn't have the right glovebox door so no SPID for me. It's a very interesting thread though and I've enjoyed it.

I do have a few questions after reading here though.

*I assumed at first that "removable top" and "auxiliary top" would be the same thing, maybe just from different plants- except I see that they have different codes.

*Does there seem to be any order to the way rpos are listed? It won't be "real" but I'd like to do my best to replicate a SPID with the options/colors that I see on mine

*I don't recall seeing a SPID listing cruise control. Was that an original option on 69-72s?

*I had at least one more question but I'll have to come back and edit it---

Thanks guys- Greg

The two aux. top codes to look for are Z58 White and Z59 Black not much else matters, St Louis had some real issues with SPID content, constistency and format.

Getting a reasonably accurate replacement SPID made is a matter of knowing what you have, what to look for in the vehicle's original build and referencing known SPIDs from the same plant and serial range. To me a guesstimated SPID based on about the level of verification most people would do for a for sale ad is worse than no SPID at all.

The only listing I show for factory installed cruise RPO K30 is for a 70 C/10 (4x2 Blazer) with a 350. While there were dealer cruise kits they would not be reflected on the SPID.

If you have another Blazer related SPID question, don't edit but simply post a new reply. Edits don't trigger a subscription notification.

Thanks SS Tim- looking back to post 90 (and others) there's an auxiliary top listed and it has a different rpo number. That's the type I was asking about. I still assume it's just a plant difference because I've not seen a different top---

[SS Tim]

Its a Z58 White top as expected. Go by the RPO number first, then worry about the decription. In this case its the same option different description.

If you go to:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=216

This is a very early build 72 from St Louis.
It also has the Z58 RPO code for a white top without description and on another line CB8 "REMOVABLE TOP" which is actually the build conversion code. It like several other lines on this early 72 SPID are generally not listed and are found only on the actual build sheet. St Louis again had a lot of issues with SPIDs.

Also if you right click on a post number, it will give you a single post thread link code that is easy to paste into a reply when refering to a specific example.

[Trifelynn]

So is there a different code between the single wall top and the double wall top?

Is there a way you can tell the difference from the SPID?

Currently on eBay...quite a schizophrenic SPID. Must've been on a Friday or something.
