VIN number starts with 3 letters

I have a 72 chevy c10. I just bought it and when I went to get insurance the online quote did recognize the VIN. I started doing some research and everything I found said that the VIN should have 2 letters and then numbers, etc. My VIN starts with CCE. Is this typical?

Re: VIN number starts with 3 letters

Your online quote probably failed due to being a pre-17 digit standardized vin.

It is typical that you won't be able to do online stuff with your VIN. VIN beginning with CCE is normal.

''C'' for Chevrolet.
''T'' for GMC ['Truck' Division].

IN 71 and earlier, those three letters would have been CE. CCE is for a 2WD V8 Chev.
