Evidence status

Verified exact VIN on preserved GM loading plate, SPID, warranty folder and California registration papers. The SPID supports listed factory options; no build sheet was recovered in the supplied photographs.

Factory documents

VIN-matched SPID identifies CK10516 and readable LS9, G80, M40, N33, N41, U63, YF5 and Z58 option entries. This documents those codes, without proving later component originality.

Physical vehicle evidence

GM loading plate bears CKL186F211466, 6,200-lb GVWR, 3,300-lb front and 3,400-lb rear GAWR. Later repaint, lift and corrosion repairs are appearance-level history, not factory configuration.

Owner or seller statements

Warranty and registration documents agree on September 22, 1976 as a first-retail/first-sold date. Customer identity and addresses are withheld. Auction claims about 116,570 miles and a later 20,000-mile display do not establish lifetime mileage.

Later research

Mecum Las Vegas lot F12 records a November 17, 2017 sale at $16,000 hammer/$17,600 with commission. Bring a Trailer lot 70,232 ended April 10, 2022 at a $26,000 high bid with reserve unmet. These are two appearances of the same VIN; mileage remains TMU.

Open questions

Locate and inspect the auction-mentioned build sheet before crediting it. Reconcile mileage and repairs, establish full ownership chain and current custody. Do not disclose registration identity/address or reuse third-party images.

Preserved full-size evidence shows VIN CKL186F211466 on a GM loading plate, Service Parts Identification label, Chevrolet warranty folder and California registration papers. The SPID supports model CK10516 and readable LS9, G80, M40, N33, N41, U63, YF5 and Z58 entries. The loading plate records 6,200-lb GVWR, 3,300-lb front GAWR and 3,400-lb rear GAWR. The warranty folder and registrations independently agree on September 22, 1976 as the first-retail/first-sold date. The apparent 00011 delivery-mileage notation is delivery-era evidence only and does not establish lifetime mileage. No build sheet is credited: the auction listing refers to one, but none appears in the supplied photograph set.

The exact VIN merges two auction appearances of one truck. Mecum Las Vegas lot F12 sold November 17, 2017 for a $16,000 hammer and $17,600 including 10% commission. Bring a Trailer lot 70,232 ended April 10, 2022 at a $26,000 high bid with reserve not met after 11 bids. Repaint, lift, corrosion repairs, the 116,570-mile claim and later 20,000-mile display are appearance-level seller or auction evidence rather than factory configuration or lifetime mileage. Mileage remains true mileage unknown. Las Vegas is the first independently dated public-auction venue and Carlsbad, California is a later listing venue; neither establishes current custody. Registration identity and addresses are intentionally omitted.
