Request To All '67 owners with tank Orders (Stickers)

[James H.]

I am trying to collect info on the '67 Tank Stickers with a --- SEQ ---(Line item) after the Comfort and Con. So far in my research I have only found 5.
I would like to request, If you have a tank sticker with the SEQ line item on the order copy please share the _SEQ reference and the -Date received -date on the tank sticker.
The 5 I have now show a sequence starting with A through J the latest date I have.

To better understand the cause, there is a Post thread a few days ago on Tank Stickers

Thank you all
James (61744)

Was it proposed all the ones with the "SEQ" are A.O.Smith bodies?

Re: Request To All '67 owners with tank Orders (Stickers)

Could F13 be the column number at the plant in St Louis where this particular unit was stored for sequencing into production ? Column numbers are like road mile markers in huge plants and there is F number columns in one pic I have of st louis....just a guess of course.

Michael Thank you for the input
This is what I have so far
SEQ C5 sb side Ex 09-12-66
SEQ D20 sb 11-17-66 these are the Exp date of Prod on the stickers
SEQ EQ3 BB J56 11-21-66
SEQ F13 BB 12-20-66
SEQ J05 BB side ex04-03-67
SEQ LQ6 sb 05-04-67 I am hoping to get more folks to expand my search

Re: Request To All '67 owners with tank Orders (Stickers)

So to clarify, A.O. Smith/Dow-Smith bodies appear to be the only ones with the SEQ code - right? I've long heard that Smith didn't have the tooling for side exhaust and the BB hood stripe was a quality issue, therefore, the longstanding generalization that if the side exhaust and BB were ordered, it got a St. Louis body. Hard to tell about all the above, but a few are side exhaust and/or BB...

* Here's a sheet I "found" on CF that "Patrick27" posted in 2007 - (neither BB or N14) - it's small but the SEQ number is present:

Owen,

I don't think so.
Chuck Banks sticker in Post #4 is an L36AA Big Block 390hp.
Leaving all the hotly contested debate out about rare (if ever) extremely early AOS (DowSmith) BB bodies, TFP Big Block bodies were only made at St Louis - certainly in this time frame.
So, the SEQ thingy is not DowSmith dependent in my opinion.

Interesting, so since so many did not have this SEQ line, you do have to wonder if it had any practical significance at all to define anything except some obscure assembly line order info.

and if it stands for "SEQUENCE" as we apparently think it does, you would think it would definitely be on the only two N03 '67s produced, eh?

Some fairly unique parts and just-in-time delivery schedules needed to be in place on the line to produce those 2 puppies !

I agree, it seems "obscurity" prevails throughout much of what we think we know about the "mind(?) of GM"

Ha! You would be totally wrong about that. Since I have one of the 2 '67 tankers, and I have the tank sticker, no, that is NOT on it anywhere. Try again.

Michael, Yes, I know that. I've seen your Tank Sticker. I know you have 1 of 2. I know "SEQ" is not on your sticker... that was the whole point of my response...

I guess you missed my point that it's a mystery to me (maybe not to others) when trying to figure out what GM was doing...Hence why I said "you would think..." I didn't say some rarity like yours would definitely exhibit the "SEQ" thingy at the bottom of the sticker. In fact, what I was trying to say is, yours is so rare you would have thought if any '67 had a SEQ requirement, yours and the other one would have had it !

Sorry if I upset you

Re: Request To All '67 owners with tank Orders (Stickers)

No, no problem, you didn't upset me at all. It is impossible to tell when someone is kidding on the internet I'm afraid, so I answered it as though what your words said were what you thought. But yes we agree this SEQ thing is not any kind of significant determinant of anything about the car, it's options, or how it was built, it is and probably will remain a mystery. They could have been some code to pull the car off the line and do a random QC inspection for all we know. And most all the special sequence items, modifications, and parts, of a tanker, happens in the lower body shop assembly area, so I'm not sure if the tank sticker even existed at that stage or where it would have been.

Re: Request To All '67 owners with tank Orders (Stickers)

Thank you--- Chuck,Michael,Mark,Owen,John,Ken. and Jack
So far we have been able to assemble 12 orders, referencing the SEQ. There is a pattern with the letter and date of production.

Again thank you for your participation. Any additional tank stickers with the SEQ would be beneficial.

If there are any new participants who are reluctant to share their tank stickers that have the SEQ reference all I'm trying to collect is the SEQ reference code and what month your car was produced.
