Chevy was not well run in those days; one problem area was Materials. John De Lorean noted that after taking over as General Manager in 1969:
"As a result of poor coordination of materials, Chevrolet every year led the company in costs for interplant shipments, premium [mostly air carrier] freight shipments and inventories of obsolete parts at the end of each model run."
We see it in late production Z/28s-not unusual to see a May or June Muncie trans. Came from another assembly plant.
