All of the places I am checking indicate a Chevrolet. GMC would have a model code in digits 4 and 5, and 31 is not one of those options. Of course it appears that 3 is not one of the options for the fourth digit on a Chevy. I have been wrong before...

C = 2wd
E = V8
1 = 1/2 ton
3 = unsure??
1 = 1971
J = Janesville

I didn't help you any. Can you post the model number? It is on the SPID on the inside of your glove box door.

Edit: I am finding now that the 3 is indeed chassis and cab. There can't be too many 1/2 tons that came as cab and chassis, that is a unique truck!!
