I miss him too. When I first dove into he was real helpful, right off the go.

I pulled out the build sheet on my 71 to see how the first field reads, the picture demonstrates. What's cool is I never realized the small garage/sales operation's name is in the charge to field. I knew where it came from, a short hop from the original owner, and I know of the original owner too. The truck was special order, which is why I'm stuck with leaf springs

I can hear it now, "We need a Chevy on top a GMC carriage". "Why not buy a GMC?" "The guy wants a Chevy"

EDIT: Hmm, trying to decipher job number 24419, maybe someone knows?

Strikes me the 24 is a component of Schedule No. 24. Perhaps it was the 419th unit blessed under what's essentially job number 24? I thought perhaps 19 matched the the day of the month for the build date, but I'm guessing it's just a coincidence.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
