Evidence status

Verified for exact VIN CCL146B159990 across the photographed SPID, factory build sheet and GM identification/loading plate, with selected factory-equipment entries independently read. The same-listing dealer invoice has a blank serial-number field and is not a VIN-bearing identity document. Current component originality, lifetime mileage and the full ownership chain remain unverified.

Factory documents

The SPID photograph reads CCL146B159990 and model CC10903. Selected entries include LS9 350 V8, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, YE9 Silverado, E63 Fleetside box, E81 wood-floor box, C60 air conditioning, A28 sliding rear window, K30 cruise control, N41 power steering, N67 Rally wheels and U69 AM/FM radio. It records ZY4 deluxe two-tone paint, 61L / “61 BRONZE 60 TAN,” and 63W / “XSS1 SADDLE VINYL TM.” The factory build sheet independently repeats CCL146B159990, model CC10903 and order RHH863, identifies Baltimore, Maryland, and names John N. Sauder Auto Co., New Holland, Pennsylvania, dealer 49-490. It records LS9 and YE9, but its transmission option reads M38 while the SPID reads M40. These document-specific notations do not by themselves prove a component replacement. A second photograph is another view of the same sheet, not a separate build document. The GM identification/loading plate repeats the VIN and records GVWR 5400 and front and rear GAWR 3220 (literal plate figures; no mass unit added). Those ratings agree with the build sheet. This is documentary/photographic evidence, not an assessment of present carrying capacity or label authenticity. An accompanying invoice has a blank serial-number field and is not an independent VIN match. Private customer and transaction details are withheld.

Physical vehicle evidence

The 2022 auction gallery photographs a long-bed Chevrolet pickup. The listing describes later seat reupholstery and added equipment; photographed appearance does not establish a complete factory-original configuration.

Owner or seller statements

Bring a Trailer describes Silverado trim, Bronze (61)/Tan (60) finish, Saddle vinyl, 350 V8, three-speed automatic, and new delivery through John N. Sauder Auto Company in New Holland, Pennsylvania. It says a SPID, build sheet, original bill of sale, service records and other papers accompanied the truck. The selected SPID, build-sheet and plate contents have now been independently read as set out above; the associated dealer invoice has a blank serial-number field. Ownership and present-component claims remain separate. The listed 51,000-mile odometer reading does not establish lifetime mileage.

Later research

Bring a Trailer lot 67,642 records a $22,250 winning bid on March 10, 2022 after 12 bids. It is one exact-VIN auction appearance. Selected factory-paper contents were independently read September 30, 2026, as described above. The 51,000-mile reading does not establish lifetime mileage, and the auction does not establish present ownership or location.

Open questions

Resolve the document-specific M40/M38 transmission notation and establish the identity/originality of the installed drivetrain. Seek a VIN-bearing original retail invoice or delivery record to corroborate the associated serial-blank invoice. Establish lifetime mileage, the complete ownership chain, surviving original finish and trim, and current custody.

Vehicle and evidence

Bring a Trailer lot 67,642 identifies chassis CCL146B159990 as a 1976 Chevrolet C10 Silverado long-bed pickup. Bring a Trailer records a $22,250 winning bid on March 10, 2022 after 12 bids. The March 10, 2022 listing describes a Bronze (61) and Tan (60) finish, Saddle vinyl interior, 350 V8, and three-speed automatic transmission. It says the truck was delivered new to John N. Sauder Auto Company in New Holland, Pennsylvania. The selected document readings above provide separate support for specified factory entries. New-delivery and ownership claims retain their limits; the associated invoice has a blank serial-number field.

The auction text explicitly identifies a service parts identification (SPID) label and says a build sheet, original bill of sale, service records, and other historical material accompanied the sale. The SPID, build sheet and identification/loading plate have now been independently read for the selected VIN-linked entries above; the serial-blank dealer invoice remains same-listing evidence. The listing also describes later changes, including seat reupholstery and added equipment; visible condition in 2022 should not be mistaken for a complete factory-original configuration.

Claims and limits

  • Documented by the auction: The exact VIN, vehicle photographs, auction date, and the listing’s inventory of supporting records.
  • Photographed factory documents: The exact-VIN SPID, build sheet and plate support the selected entries above. The SPID M40 and build-sheet M38 transmission notations remain document-specific. The same-listing dealer invoice has a blank serial-number field and does not independently establish a VIN match or completed delivery.
  • Unverified: The listing’s 51,000-mile odometer reading is not proof of actual lifetime mileage. The complete ownership chain and originality of individual components have not been independently established here.
