I learned several things about the assembly process that was different than I thought or it could be that it varies from plant to plant. Cool stuff none the less. Thanks for sharing. </div></div>
It can even vary for the same product within the same plant.
When I started at Chevrolet Flint Assembly pickups were built on "Line 1"; Blazer/Suburban were built on "Line 2".
The pickups used a "piecemeal" approach to front end build, where the fenders were brought to the main line individually and the hood added a few stations after that (the radiator support was alread on the chassis).
Blazer/Suburban used a "buck build" approach, where the fenders, rad support and hood were all assembled off line and brought to the vehicle as a unit, like you see in the Tarrytown pics.
