Record at a glance

Year: 1976
Make: Chevrolet
Model / series: C10
Assembly plant: St. Louis, Missouri

Evidence status

The photographed build sheet, detached SPID and installed GM identification/camper-loading plate each show CCL146S183223. Verification is limited to selected readable content and association within one dealer sale gallery, not authentication of original paper or surviving components.

Factory documents

The build sheet and SPID show CC10703 and LS9 describing a 350-cubic-inch V8. Selected SPID entries include F44 heavy-duty chassis wording, Z84 Cheyenne Equipment, ZY2 conventional two-tone wording, 43L Willoway Green and green custom-cloth wording beside 44D. The full upholstery abbreviation is held. W/BASE is recorded literally as 1175. The build sheet prints ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. Its transmission row appears M38 beside TRAN-3SP-AUTO; the SPID separately prints M40 with Turbo Hydramatic wording. Both readings are retained without harmonization or installed-transmission inference. No exact manufacture date is established.

Physical vehicle evidence

The selected photographs show a worn build/broadcast sheet, a detached SPID and an installed metal GM identification/camper-loading plate. The plate and sheet each list GVWR 6,200 lb, front GAWR 3,250 lb and rear GAWR 3,750 lb. These historical inscriptions are not a present safe-loading assessment. Paper age, authenticity and uninterrupted association with this truck have not been established.

Owner or seller statements

The dealer listing calls the truck a 1976 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Stepside, describes an orange exterior and black interior, and reports newer upholstery and mechanical modifications. These are attributed descriptions of the sale presentation. No private owner details are included.

Later research

ClassicCars CC-1725969 preserves Streetside Classics stock 6208-DFW and the exact VIN. Its sold marker does not establish a paid amount or sale date. The green paint/trim portions of the photographed SPID differ from the listing’s orange exterior and black cabin. Sale material documents a historical appearance; it does not establish current survival, ownership, location or component originality.

Open questions

Resolve the apparent build-sheet M38 versus SPID M40 discrepancy from further vehicle-linked primary evidence. Establish document authenticity and chain of custody, an exact manufacture date, the full upholstery abbreviation, original-component retention and current custody. No original installed-transmission determination is made.

VIN-linked photographed documents

A Streetside Classics sale gallery preserved on ClassicCars identifies this Chevrolet C10 as CCL146S183223, stock 6208-DFW. The same VIN is readable on three photographed items: a worn build/broadcast sheet, a detached Service Parts Identification label and an installed GM identification/camper-loading plate. These matching identifiers link the pictured documents to this sale presentation. They do not authenticate the paper or establish uninterrupted ownership.

Selected document entries

The build sheet and SPID both show model CC10703 and an LS9 engine entry describing a 350-cubic-inch V8. The SPID includes F44 heavy-duty chassis wording, Z84 Cheyenne Equipment and ZY2 conventional two-tone wording. Its selected paint and trim entries include 43L Willoway Green and green custom-cloth wording beside 44D; the full upholstery abbreviation is not transcribed. The SPID wheelbase field is recorded literally as 1175, without converting the printed entry.

The build sheet prints ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. Both the sheet and metal plate list GVWR 6,200 lb, front GAWR 3,250 lb and rear GAWR 3,750 lb. The metal item includes camper-loading information; it is described here by its visible identification/loading role. No manufacture date is established by these selected readings. Historical rating inscriptions do not establish present safe loading capacity.

Unresolved transmission wording

The build-sheet transmission code appears to read M38 beside TRAN-3SP-AUTO. The SPID separately prints M40 with Turbo Hydramatic wording. The slightly soft M38 reading and the clear M40 entry are retained separately. This record does not silently correct either code, assume the codes are interchangeable or identify the transmission installed in the truck.

Sale presentation and later condition

ClassicCars listing CC-1725969 identifies a 1976 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Stepside and displays a sold marker. Its orange exterior and black interior descriptions differ from the green paint/trim portions of the SPID. The dealer describes newer upholstery and mechanical modifications. These are attributed listing statements about the sale presentation, not proof of original installed components, a paid amount, a sale date or current custody.

Evidence limits

The documents and truck photographs belong to one dealer/syndication source family. Photographs of apparently physical paper and labels are not forensic authentication. Exact manufacture date, document chain of custody, present-component originality, lifetime mileage and current ownership or location remain unresolved. No private owner information or source photographs are reproduced.
