GMC and Chevrolet VIN and Model Number Decoders with pics.

[bruceman1968]

My GMC reference materials are packed up right now. (I'm in the middle of a move). But let me see if I can get this off the top of my head.

CE50V-A102079

C = 2wd
E = V-8
5 = 2 Ton
0V = Cab & Chassis
- = Space reserved for special designation
A = Atlanta assembly plant
1 = 1971
02097 = Unique serial number

Thanks for the complement on the decoders.

So one of my trucks is also a GMC 1 ton with the 157'' wheelbase (used to be a class B MH) Pretty sure the wheelbase code is 64, that is what is says on the glove box anyways as the model-- CE364OV -- vin: CE3OV ZA 2....

What I was trying to pass on is that the 157'' wheel base has the 64 designation not mentioned in your data, unless I missed it in the past 5 pages

"We intentionally tailored the decoders to fit the trucks most commonly found on this website"

You didn't miss it. We intentionally left it off as well as many other codes that could be found on Chevy or GMC trucks, but are not common on this website. If we included them all the font would be to small or the decoder would be to large to be a quick and easy resource for the trucks most commonly found on this website.

Okie, SS Tim called me yesterday with some concerns about the decode I did on your truck. This morning I went through your previous posts and found the pictures of your SPID. From the pics of your SPID, I know I made a mistake on the decode. Often on SPIDs, the unique serial number was printed at a different time from the first half of the VIN and it shows with different Font and alignment. This is clearly the case on your SPID.

Your unique serial number is clearly 102079 which would make the A the model year. 1969 in this case. Sorry for any confusion my incorrect decode might of caused in relation to the year of your truck. It is a 1969.

No worries, im not too worried about it and 99.9% of any parts are the same. Luckily I havent started anything so no harm no foul
