What the source shows
The photographed Service Parts Identification label directly reads VIN TKY243Z506604; model field unknown because damaged; W/BASE 1315.
Rust, damage and glare obscure the model and the first right-column option code; those fields have not been reconstructed. A separate rating-plate photograph repeats the VIN. Its historical ratings distinguish as-manufactured GVW 6,800 pounds from a maximum capability of 8,200 pounds. These are plate readings, not current safe-loading advice. The matching photographs share one publisher and do not establish original mounting.
Source and scope
Based on a preserved photograph reviewed on October 25, 2026. The original listing URL has not been recovered.
These are readings of photographed documents, not proof of physical authenticity, original mounting or original or currently installed equipment. Source photographs are not reproduced here.
1973 Chevrolet — CKY243Z171899
Full SPID VIN CKY243Z171899 independently readable at high confidence. Literal MODEL CK20903; W/BASE 1315 without decimal insertion; header 269100; form number 3986681. S.E. appears blank. Matching mounted VIN/rating-plate photograph provides same-gallery identity support, not a second qualifying document.
Selected printed entries: LS9 V8 ENG-350 CID-4BBL; M49 T/HYDRA-MATIC TRANS; Z62 CUSTOM DELUXE; 517 LIME GREEN.
Cable-covered option codes remain unknown; visible [occluded]81 is not completed as Z81. The label’s location in an engine compartment does not establish original attachment. Current seller drivetrain descriptions are separate from printed LS9/M49.
These are photographed document readings, not proof of label authenticity, original mounting, or original/current installed components.
