Production Info

[Heavy Chevy]

According to my truck's VIN, it was assembled a GM’s  St. Louis, MO assembly plant (I’m not sure if that plant is still exists or not)

What I’m curious to know is, how far away the truck is from being the last one to roll off the assembly line for that plant. Is there a way to find out? The manufacturing date for the truck is June of 1987. If I’m not mistaken, the new body style ’88 models were already starting to show up at some Chevrolet dealerships around that time, yes? That would mean production for the ‘87s was getting pretty close to ending.

(The thought that my truck could be the last of it’s kind from the St. Louis plant has crossed my mind a time or two. But that’s a snowballs chance in you know where. It would be like winning the lottery; my luck just isn’t that good)

Kind of like the last stingray, huh. Too bad these truck never had a catchy name. The Last Square Body Pickup Truck just doesn't sound right.

Sorry, I have no info on the plant or production numbers. Might try gm, they have an info pack they send... do a search.

Jeff (bigblock73 of 73-87.com) and I have both tried to find numbers associated with the specific models.  They don't have that, or they won't give it out...

I am betting the last one ended up in a GM museum or a GM Exec...

Thanks for the Info… I always wondered how far away it was from being the last one, guess this will remain a mystery
 (But like I said earlier, my luck isn’t good enough for it to be the last one, so it doesn't really matter     )         

Thanks.

Just call it the last one, you will be corrected when someone finds a later sequence number. But until then, you will have the last.

Wouldn’t that technically be a lie? Since I don’t know for sure? One must never tell lies, its bad for reputation…
