Hey guys!!,
Wondering if I could get some help.
I need this body tag deciphered. I’d like to know everything I can about this car.
Also he sent me a picture I guess from under the hood. It confused me because it referred to a corvette in the but the car is an elcamino.
Also look like the sticker is on top of another one????? Weird!!
Thanks Lou

the first is just the emissions label

75 = 1975
1AD80 break down is
1 = Chevrolet
A = body series 'A-Body'
D = El Camino
80 = Classic pickup delivery
R = build plant Arlington TX
038073 = production sequence
19W = Interior color Black with vinyl seat
AN7 = Swivel Bucket seats
19L = lower paint color Black
19U = upper paint color Black
10C = build date November 3rd week
150333 = just production line numbers that don't know what they are ?

so what I can tell you, and others may be better at filling in the blanks, is this.
75 is the model year. 1 is the Chevrolet division. AD (not sure). 80 is El Camino. R is Arlington TX plant. 038073 is the production number. 19W and AN7 I do not know but they pertain to options. and 19L 19U is the paint color which is black upper and black lower. I am sure someone will respond to fill in the blanks but, I hope this helps.

Thank You so much!!!! By chance would you know how to verify if it is a true SS?

need the build sheet or the original GM invoice to tell a true SS

If it had Z15 on the tag it would for sure be an SS. Without it you’ll need a build sheet or some other documentation.

So that’s the paper I used to find under the seat in my older cars???
Dashboard emblem by the glovebox says SS
Chevrolet on the steering wheel….

anybody could put those emblems on, can't tell for 100% sure it's the SS

I found that this site is pretty good for RPO codes..> RPO Codes.com- GM option codes,GM rpo codes,General Motors options

Anyone know what the DR stands for in the top left hand corner?

Also, is this a 350 or 400 CU inches?

Thanks for your help!!!

 

[87next2last1]

DR is just the Emissions Label code

Got it, do you know what size 4 barrel carb would be good for this V8 350? thinking of getting a new one... what about headers...that would actually fit as well? thanks for your reply!

Just keep the factory Quadrajet if still on it
can't bet the MPG's & street performance from it
If needed get it rebuilt by Mountain Man Fuel Systems for cheaper than buying a new carb & will get many more years out of it
Posted info about the headers on the other post you asked on
