Perhaps this is a usable format. You can sort by any column and I think easier to manager by the task force. Edited:

Date (zero=no day): March 0, 1971
Factory: Fremont71 (the reason for the year is for sorting - I like how you guy's separate factory & year & this will do that. See example below if interested.)
Year: 1971 Perhaps redundant if year is added to factory, but strikes me valuable as a sort option)
Chevy/GMC (gay man's chevy): Chevy, Suburban etc. (See post 119, might be better to add Suburban, Blazers as a note or as another column to sort by, e.g. "Other").
Vin: Zxxxxxx (Not sure you need "Z" but it sorts anyway).
Notes: 71Chevy402 is a bum

Flint70
Flint71
Flint72
Fremont70
Fremont71
Fremont72

On a side, if using Excel for example, the shorter the better. Sometimes it's necessary to put columns between columns to paste right, using symbols. For example:

01/01/1970...Fremont70...1970...Chevy...Z123456...Blank*...71Chevy402 is a bum.

*Blank is a spot for Suburban and that, because blanks will throw off your paste. N/A maybe, but it's not as if you're registering every type.

Edited again, cough). The list of your factories/years and that is a nice placeholder so to speak, but I wouldn't add them to your chart until a truck comes up. Just some suggestions, I'm a bum but long edgeucation in data structure & reports was enough to be happy to leave, with CDO and perhaps PTSD too, them (*&(*)&^ are crazy especially meetings.



I agree. If a picture was worth a darn I'd take it. The sticker is just too faded. But again, I believe it's a three. If it's March you can bet it was the first week if not day. Heck with it, I took a pic anyway, that looks like a three. A two is shaped differently If true, and I think it is, that's approx. 306 per day and a whopping 9200 a month 72 Chevy Z at the time.

We need a forensic to pipe in, there's got to be a chemical some sort.
71CHEVYSHORTBED402,
I'm wondering if there are multiple layers of your sticker that maybe could be separated at the "date" corner. Perhaps the clear (that's no so clear now) top layer could be separated enough to reveal the next layer? It sorta looks like the layers became separated in that corner in your pics.

Perhaps this could risk more damage than it's worth, so proceed with caution if you decide to do this at all.


And I agree, it looks like a 3.
