Where were the 73-91's built?

I just think it's weird that I've got a truck in Shreveport, that was built somewhere other than Shreveport, and to my knowledge this truck has been in Shreveport since it was new, just seems weird it wasn't built at the Shreveport plant. Now they build the Colorado and the H3 here in Shreveport.

My parts truck that I bought from a guy in NH came from Ottawa, CA.  The tail lenses even had GM CANADA molded into them.

My other truck, bought locally in Mass can from Flint, I believe.

So these trucks were really popular.

Also, i'm ASSuming that the Mexican versions were built, presumbably, in Mexico?

I was in Central Mexico in the early 90's on business.  I was picked up and drove around in a brand new 92 or 93 Suburban, the old body style.  Interestingly, no emission controls, regular gas and the seat brackets were different, way lower in the front, I was told it was because in the Mexican market typically are shorter and liked it that way.  Other differences I saw was Ford style rear lights on the pickups, "reminded me of the 67 F250 I had" chains on the tailgate like the pre-1967 GM and wood floors.

They also had 4 door Bronco's "The Fords answer to Suburban" not available in the states and the Ford pickups were labled F200.

As mentioned previously the assembly plant is the 7 th letter/digit inthe serial#;Canadian built units were Oshawa(1) or London (5).Many Canadian built units went to USA.The canadian line also appears to have built some of the low volume RPO trucks;All the 1981 Street Coupe and Chevy Sport trucks I have seen were Oshawa builds;Many of the factory bucket seat trucks also came from Oshawa.....
