<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Paul is pretty close. All antennae for all Chevies were stowed (I won't say
"thrown") in the trunk at the assembly plants to prevent getting
broken off or stolen during transport, Same went for hub caps and wheel covers.
The installation instructions are in the assy. manual because the plants needed
to prep show jobs and special cars occasionally, and would have to install the
antenna off-line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There were 3 basic Corvair radio, antenna & speaker RPOs in
64: U60, manual radio; U63 pushbutton radio and Z02 pushbutton radio and
rear speaker. These were further broken down into 6 different RPOs by
use of RPO Exception Codes, as indicated on orders for bodies sent to
Fisher and window stickers, car shippers and invoices. That's how Fisher knew
if a car was to have a rear antenna so they could install the
Chevy-furnished,<br>
longer cable. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Chevy and all GM car divisions traditionally installed radio parts except
when they'd have to remove a bunch of Fisher parts to install them. In
that case it was cheaper to pay Fisher to do the operation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It's important to remember that exception codes define an option and create
a new, separate option. A hypothetical RPO U63AB, for example, is just as much
a separate, distinct, and trackable RPO as U63AC would be. Each RPO
essentially refers to a distinct list of parts for that particular option,
which makes it a function of purchasing, sales and production control. I could
probably come up with most of these exception codes from my sticker and car
shipper files but that's a project for another day!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For build sheets, and as far as dealers were concerned, the six RPOs were
defined by the factory order form Column Code. For 64, all radios were ordered
under Column 44, and on Corvair order forms there were six different 44 columns
the dealer could check: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-A = Manual Radio & front Ant (U60)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-B = Manual & Rear Ant (U60)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-C = PB Radio & Front Ant (U63)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-D = PB & Rear Ant (U63) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-E = PB, Front Ant & Rear Speaker (Z02)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> 44-F = PB, Rear Ant & Rear Speaker (Z-02)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></p>

interesting. I chatted with Paul Steinberg today. He is pretty knowledgeable
about ‘64s. He wondered if the lack of RPO for this had to do with the

in the backseat when it arrived at the dealer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

most certainly did not! Sorry, Kent, I should have told you – the
’64 assembly manual also has pages for installing the front antenna
– same RPO numbers U60 and U63 – I just sent you the rear antenna
pages. It is obvious that Fisher installed the wire for the rear antenna,
but the front antenna pages make it clear that Chevy installed the front
antenna. I do not know how they knew which cars should have which
antennas, other than Fisher code 2S and whatever was on the Chevy build
sheet. It might help if we could find a build sheet for a 64 2S car.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

belts, have we found a code for the standard belt (A20), that was optional
from Oct 1, 1963 to Jan 1, 1964? I got this from Kents site for FC's.
Does this also apply to passenger cars? From what I gathered from the 63
year discussion, Fisher took over for installation of seat belts at the end of
the 63 model run. Is this correct. If it is, then there should be a code for
optional (RPO A20) seatbelts. Have any other codes been found in this
group? I heard there may be a "Z" code in group 5 but I do not have
an example of this code. Maybe they never coded for this option or it's
possible that this was a very rare option before it became standard.
Something along the lines of the rear belts on 65's before they became
standard in 66. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
