Vin:80k3z459525
You left off part of the VIN??

1 - Chevrolet Division of GM
D - El Camino Custom
80 - 2 dr pickup
K - 350-4bbl carb engine
3 - 1973
Z - Fremont CA final assembly plant
459525 - Unit serial number



Trim:
ST 1AD80 2 243900 BDY

ST is short for STyle
1AD80 - El Camino Custom Pickup Delivery

2 is really a Z for Fremont Assembly
243900 - Body serial number (not intended to match VIN)


TR 704 A52 11 74 PNT
TR is short for TRim
704 - El Camino Black Vinyl trim
A52 - Seat code for Bench seat
11 - Upper paint is Antique White
74 - Lower paint is Dark Red Metallic
PNT is short for PaiNT


0AD 243900 710281
0AD is production date, MMW (month,week). You got a letter in stead of a number for the month 0?; D is 4th week of the month
243900 710281 - Data Processing Sequence Number, nothing to do with how the car is optioned. Just used for internal plant identification of the body during processing and build out.
