Was looking at fender tag on a 71 runner and notice the sequence number 1G----22 and was very close to my 71 gtx 1G----06,my is 16 before this car. What confuse me is the build date on the car was 2 days before my. Doe's anyone know how this can be or has anyone notice on any other cars???

Not too surprising, the Scheduled Build Date is not necessarily the actual date the car was built. There was a good thread on moparts a few months ago from someone who worked at the factory back then explaining when the SPD and the VIN numbers were assigned.

Hey Eric,
I would love to read that thread. Would you happen to remember the moparts member, or the title of the post? Thanks!

Unfortunately, I did not save the thread in my favorites and cannot seem to find it now.
