VIN for C10 but truck is K10
I have a 1984 K10 4x4 (white one in profile). I looked at the title the other day and it is titled as a C-10 so I went online an tried to decode the VIN number and it shows as a C-10 also. MY first thought is that someone before me swapped body off a C10 onto a 4x4 chassis but is there any other things that you guys have seen? Is there something I can check to verify? Thanks

The top of the frame on the passenger side should have a partial VIN stamped into it.
Not uncommon in our area to change cabs because of rust, get a cab from an area of the country that does not use salt on the roads. I know in Michigan, there is a process for putting the original VIN plate on replacement cab/body. It needs to be done and inspected by the State Police. Because of that, a lot of guys will buy a cab/body with a title and leave the VIN how it came on the body. |

IIRC NH issues what they call a composite VIN... or they did 25 years ago when I did it the last time. |

Oh, come on ... your C10 self identifies as a K10 :lol:

Not that it matters, but out of curiosity - what is the VIN on your SPID?

Re: VIN for C10 but truck is K10
you have two options... keep quiet and forget it or open up a can or worms and if for some reason the chassis comes back as a stolen truck you could face alot of legal questions.. if in fact your SPID and your VIN are the same, id just pretend i was ignorant to it all and not worry.. Ive never found a VIN on the chassis, but the only time i looked my trucks were older before this change happened

Wouldn't a C10 cab have a lower hump in the floor? In any event your truck will always be an 84 K10 no matter what cab you put on it. Forging a VIN is generally frowned upon.

Last 6 numbers of vin are usually on top of frame rail behind cab.
