Evidence status

Both supplied views of one Service Parts Identification label clearly read TKL266F522044, matching BaT lot 62865. This establishes the photographed label identity and selected inscriptions. The two views are one artifact; their public auction-image mapping remains contributor-reported.

Factory documents

The SPID reads MODEL TK20906 and W/BASE 129.5. With the printed leading 1 omitted from normalized option codes, clear entries include LS9 350 C.I. V8, M20 four-speed manual, Z62 SIERRA GRANDE EQUIPM, Z49 CANADIAN BASE EQUIPM, NK7 31-gallon tank, E55 Suburban tailgate, AT5 folding center seat, A52 front bench seat, G80 locking differential, K05 block heater, N33 Comfortilt steering, U63 AM pushbutton radio, A01 SOFT-RAY TINTED GLAS, ZY1 solid paint and 25L 25 CATALINA BLUE-SOL. Upholstery prefix and clipped Z53/N41/tire/mirror/shock details are held. This pair contains no buildsheet or registration image.

Physical vehicle evidence

Two supplied photographs show the same SPID label. Neither provides a date, GVWR or GAWR. Their inscriptions do not authenticate the artifact or prove present installed components, original finish or current configuration. No complete auction-gallery inspection is claimed.

Owner or seller statements

BaT describes a Canadian-market three-quarter-ton Suburban with a 350 V8, four-speed manual, dual-range transfer case, blue upholstery and Catalina Blue Metallic paint; its narrative uses K20. The supplied SPID independently records selected equipment inscriptions, but present-unit originality is unverified. Seller-reported original-family history, service work and about 48,000 miles shown remain attributed; lifetime mileage is unknown.

Later research

On October 3, 2026, two supplied views resolved the selected-SPID verification gap for existing record TKL266F522044. BaT lists a $27,000 no-reserve winning bid on January 5, 2022 after 22 bids and marks the auction sold. Payment and ownership transfer are not independently verified. Victoria, British Columbia remains a dated auction location only.

Open questions

Authenticate the label and independently match the supplied views to the public auction gallery. Registration imagery remains unreviewed. Clarify softer SPID wording and source/model nomenclature as evidence allows; original-component retention, original finish, lifetime mileage, registration history, later provenance and current custody remain unresolved.

Supplied VIN-matched Service Parts Identification label

Two supplied photographs show the same Service Parts Identification label, with a full-label view and a closer header view. Both clearly read VIN TKL266F522044, matching the VIN printed in Bring a Trailer lot 62,865. The label reads MODEL TK20906 and W/BASE 129.5. The label’s identity and selected equipment inscriptions can now be read independently.

The contributor associated these photographs with that auction listing. Their precise public gallery-image URLs have not been independently matched. The two views are one artifact, not two independent factory documents. No date, GVWR or GAWR appears in this pair, and it contains no buildsheet.

Selected readable factory inscriptions

For readability, the option codes below omit the label’s leading 1 in the code column. Clear entries include LS9, V8 engine 350 C.I.; M20, four-speed manual transmission; Z62, SIERRA GRANDE EQUIPM; Z49, CANADIAN BASE EQUIPM; NK7, 31-gallon fuel tank; E55, Suburban tailgate; AT5, folding center seat; A52, front bench seat; and G80, locking differential.

Other readable entries include K05, engine block heater; N33, Comfortilt steering; U63, AM pushbutton radio; A01, SOFT-RAY TINTED GLAS; ZY1, solid paint; and 25L, 25 CATALINA BLUE-SOL. Clipped wording is preserved where quoted. The uncertain upholstery prefix, truncated Z53/N41 descriptions and tire/mirror/shock abbreviations are not expanded.

These are verified readings of the photographed label. They do not authenticate the artifact or establish that the original engine, transmission, paint, trim or accessories remain installed. Canadian base equipment does not by itself establish a Canadian assembly plant.

Auction account and remaining limits

Bring a Trailer describes a Canadian-market three-quarter-ton Suburban with a 350 V8, four-speed manual, dual-range transfer case, blue upholstery and Catalina Blue Metallic paint. Its narrative uses K20. The supplied label’s paint wording is retained separately from the auction’s description.

The seller reported acquisition from the original owner’s family, service work and about 48,000 miles shown. These remain attributed claims, and lifetime mileage is unknown. The page records a $27,000 no-reserve winning bid on January 5, 2022 after 22 bids and is marked sold; payment and ownership transfer have not been independently verified. Victoria, British Columbia is the dated auction location, not an established current location.

The listing mentions British Columbia registration, but no registration image was reviewed in this update. Review was limited to the two supplied views and public listing text; it does not establish complete auction-gallery coverage. Original-component retention, label authenticity, registration history, later provenance and current custody remain unresolved. No private personal information or source images are reproduced.
