There is no way to know.
Assembly plant assignment is determined roughly by geography, but adjusted depending on option content; meaning - some plants only build certain models within a specific platform (like El Camino) or specific options are only built at specific plants (like California emissions, etc). All else being equal the order would probably be assigned to the nearest assembly plant building that vehicle type.
Even today the assignment of a specific dealer order to an assembly plant can appear somewhat random to the outside observer, as a result of the above.
