I see this question come up alot, so I thought I would do a post with pics on where to find your 60-66 chev/gmc vehicle identification number.
First up is the 60 t0 63 chev and gmc. The vin is located on the LH drivers door pillar. |

Next up is the 64-6
The vin is located on the LH driver door roof rail. *** 64 gmc vins are located on the "b" pillar in the lh driver door frame*** |

On all 7 years you can also find the vin number on the left hand frame rail in front of the A arm.
There is also one stamped on the top of the LH frame rail under the cab, these shots are from my 65 1/2 ton long box. Notice how they only stamp the year, assembly plant, and the sequential serial # on the frame rail. the under cab shot is from a 66 frame I have, I have hi-lited where the vin is stamped, it is about 12 inches in front of the left hand rear cab mount on top of the frame rail ***** quoted from lil red 66!***** "The GMC trucks of the same years, did not have the VIN or any portion of the VIN stamped on the frame, in any place." |

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
According to the 6066gmcguy the panel and suburban vins are located on the Lh drivers door pillar, roof pillar, rear driver door pillar, or on the footwell by the GVW tag.
I have seen all 3 of the door pillar vin placements, but did not take pics. If you have some pics to add please do. |

Thanks for your tireless contribution to this subject. Perhaps this will become a sticky. In any case, you have covered the subject very well and I appreciate your efforts.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
Just to point out that GM can be inconsistent, on the '64 Chevy cab I recently asked this question about I found it on the LH rear door pillar, not above the door.
|
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
I am going to check out some 64's at the wrecking yard, I changed the gmc pic to note that 64 gmc is on the rear driver door pillar, and I think that chevy will turn out the same way for 64. I will update as soon as I get a pic.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
ok.. the post # 5 is for canadian trucks only.
if your frame is a 60-66 there should be the vin by the left front A arm, and under the cab on the lh side... if the frame is a later one, there still should be a vin under the cab on the drivers side... that was pretty much a standard for gm frames, and I have seen quite a few different frames with a vin there. |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
I'm glad I joined this forum!! Everybody has been a big help so far just wanted to say thanks....
So I found a number on the driver side frame.... still having trouble figuring it out.... So here it is for some folk a whole lot smarter than me 3829595 9 28 62 Thanks again, Redline |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
here is what comes up with the decoder... which just confuses it even more:lol:
VIN 3829595 9 28 62 Model Year 1963 Chassis (unknown code) Body Style Panel Series (unknown code) Assembly Plant Norwood, OH Sequential Number 5 9 28 62 Is there any sign of the body being off the frame? maybe this frame was on a different vehicle... the cab vin, and the frame vin should match.... |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
Ya that was the same thing I saw when I typed it in. I am sure that this cab did not come with this frame. I'm going replace the cab with one that is less rusted. But it would be nice to know what frame this is.
Thanks, Redline |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
So I found the VIN on the frame and this is what I came up with....
VIN S113673 Model Year 1961 Chassis (unknown code) Body Style Motor Home Series (unknown code) with optional 7800 GVW (1 ton) Plate Assembly Plant GMAD Detroit Sequential Number Any ideas???? |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
ok, I think that other # you found on your frame, was a part#, and a poduction date- 9-28-62, which would be right in the thick of 63's production.
you new # that you found, matvhes your vin, on the cab (I think the 3 is an 8), every thing else matches up. all the frame had for a code, was : the last digit of the production year the letter of the assembly plant the sequential # check out the pics in post #3, with the frame vin, and the 65 body tag. sand around in front of that s, and you should find a 3, I am 99% sure that yoour frame is the original for that cab. |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
Ok, sounds good.... its starting to make a little more since. Has anyone ever heard of a 3/4ton dually???
|
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
So what about the 3 digit code on the door pilars between the door hinges?
I got a 001 on the left and a R72 on the right. Never noticed them untill I sanded over them today. |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
.... probably just a part #, you wouldn't believe all the stampings that you would find if you had your cab acid dipped....
pretty much every piece has a # stamped on it somewhere. |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
this might be a stupid guess i bet that frame is one of a bread or milk truck ...i have done that with a 65 that was killed in the rear ...bread truck 100.00 wrecked 65 c-10 250.00 ...i moved and still do lots of hay with it ...i will check mine to see if it could maybe be an unknown too...

Vin tag located on driver's side door jamb: it's stamped: GMC truck 1002 P F6261A thanks for any help |
Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
here's what I deciphered from www.6066gmc.org/ :
10=1/2 ton 02=127" wheelbase P= pontiac michigan assembly plant F= 64-66 model year* see the pharagraph below for more on the F code. 6261= sequential production # A=6000 pounds or less GVW *The series letter for 1964 to 1966 is "F". There was not any more major changes for this body style. But there was a series letter "E" used on some 1965 trucks (have not seen any yet) & "D" used on all inline engined 1966 trucks. More info has been found for "F" Series Trucks, GMC built truck in two plants from 1964 to 1966, the Pontiac Michigan plant & one of two plants in California, Oakland or Fremont. If your trucks vin shows "HF" it was built in the Oakland California plant which GMC shut down after the 1964 Model year, so all "HF" trucks are 1964. Production was moved to an ALL NEW plant built in Fremont California for 1965, so "ZF" trucks are 1965 or 1966. So here is a brake down of the series letters; N = 1960-1961, J = 1962, G = 1963, F =1964-1966, E = 1965, D = 1966 |
