Anyone have a 7 digit odometer?

Chevrolets and GMCs are built together on the same assembly lines.

Maybe 73-later trucks were but NOT 67-72 trucks (at least 2wd Chevy and GMC's)

Actually in the US 89 and up got the extra digit.
An 89 that doesn't have it is not original.

My 89 blazer was 100% bone stock when I bought it and it does not have a 7 digit reading odometer, it is a 5 digit with a tenths reading for a total of 6 digits and it does have the trip odometer.

Ok now you got me intrigued.
What trim level is it and what is the manufacturing date?

It is a Silverado and i'm not going outside ATM to check the manufacture date. I have another gauge cluster from another 89 blazer that is also a 6 digit total odometer.

All of the '87 and up Blazers / Pickups / Suburbans I've owned or worked on all had the 6 digit odometer, plus the "tenth's" digit (for 7 numbers total).

But recently I looked at an '89 K5 that did not.

US vehicles, not Canadian.

I have a 1987 V10 long box, two 1988 V10 Suburbans, and a 1988 K5 in my yard right now. None of them have it.

I'm pretty sure California had a million mile requirement before the rest of the states.

My 89 k5 has the 5 digit plus 10ths odometer. Silverado model with trip and was manufactured in January 1989 California model.

Still has good paint, seen a few Canada trucks from that time that the paint did not fall off? Were they painted differant, or painted in canada?

Weird.
All my 89 and up are 7 digits and none below that age had them and I owned quite a few.
I am trying to remember if I read it or concluded that this was the cutoff year.
I did have a canadian gmc 82 and did not have the 7th digit.
Maybe it was just a CA thing.
