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

[LostMy65]

I've searched for C253 and nothing comes up.

[LostMy65]

From my searching, I think the 3 in C253 means longbed fleetside.

**edit** Nevermind! Found it. "H" is Fremont. Roger that.

I've checked all the numbers on this truck I brought home.

The frame, the body, and of course the title, all match.

Assembly plant code is an "H".

If I missed this somewhere in this thread I apologize, but I actually did use the search button.

Here's a shot of the VIN, and yes, the numbers on the truck match, so what gives?

Was it made in "Hell"?

GMC:
Translate your VIN number for your GMC and narrow down just what year your truck should be.
Go to the VIN Number Conversion Page http://www.6066gmcguy.org/VinNumber.htm of this site to find more info on this.

1960 - 1966 ( Canadian ) Chevrolet & GMC Pickup VIN
http://www.oeltd.net/doc/6066gmc/vins/gmc-canada.htm

[jonzcustomshop]

not really , all that you will be able to determine is the year, assembly plant, and serial # from the donor truck.

[mookiex4]

This information is great. It is missing one thing and that is why I cam back to the site. I need to get an oil filter for my 1965 GMC truck and the parts house asked if the truck was VIN Code A or B or if it was VIN a VIN code C or D. The filters are different. My GMC is just like the one in the PIC the says GMC TRUCK DD and the VIN ends with a B. Is it VIN code B or D? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

that has to do with gvw.what eng does it have , v6 or i6? it is more than likely a canister type filter. bolt thru it? or a spin on.
he more than likely doesn't know so he is asking a bunch of questions
what model is your truck?

[mookiex4]

It has the 305 V6 and it is a canister type filter, but there are two types and they look different. The computer system in order to get the correct canister filter asks if the VIN series it A/B for one style or C/D for the other style. They are different enough that I don't want to get the correct one. I was just wondering if I go off of the DD that is next to the GMC TRUCK stamp or the B att he end of the VIN number. If I look at the wrong letter I can potentially get the wrong style canister oil filter. I was just wondering how to figure out How I can tell if it is VIN Series A, B, C or D.

the difference is the size of the filter cartridge. just take your old one off and the size will give it to you. there will more than likely will be a part # right on it
eg
fram # ch33apl 9.05"tall id 1.44" od 4.45"
fram # ch106pl 6.25" tall id 1.28" od 3.69"
now if that partsperson had a clue they could have told you that. I just looked it up.the other possibility in 50 years that eng could have been changed. again just pull the old one off to make sure what you have first

my 61 k10 was built in oakland. freemont didn't open till around 64. Oakland plant was known as Detroit West.

[Willie 66]

Hey everyone. I've got a 66 and I've scoured the interwebs for something to "decode" my particular VIN with no luck. Everything lines up great with all the characters EXCEPT the 4th digit.

I can't figure out what that "3" means in the 4th character slot. A friend of a friend worked for Chevrolet for decades and has never seen anything like this. His best guess is that the truck was originally a chassis cab, but no decoders indicate that as an option. Anyone know what this means?

You are most likely correct. . It was probably purchased/built as a cab/chassis. ..

[emikstone]

Still confused about the VIN on the title of a supposed 66 pk I am looking at to buy.... haven't checked the tag on the door againt the title yet... 11002PD19514A ???

here is what I came up with:

It is a gmc vin.

the first number "1" is actially an "I" - a common mistake by the dmv -they will often mistake I's and O's for 1"s and 0's.
the "I" stands for inline 6 motor.

10= 1/2 ton
02= 127 wb-long box wheelbase
P= pontiac michigan assembly plant
D= 1966 inline 6 gmc
19514= serial number
A=6000lb weight rating.

hope this helps
all this info is from here: http://www.6066gmcguy.org/VinNumber.htm

Here is mine.

If I seen most of the comments of this thread I have...
1961, 4x4, 1/2 ton, surburban(or carryall), from Oakland(CA?), production #8476.
I'm not sure if the stamped 061 or the 97 on both sides of the Chevrolet are stock or added on by someone. Does any on know or have an idea?

I see some forest service green hiding there under the door weatherstrip.... I am going to guess that the 061, and 97 were stamped there by the forest service to keep track of the vehicle...

[Bigffjoe]

Hmm, I will have to do some checking around, My dad had mentioned that too, thinking it was a old forest service rig because of the darker green color. I will see if he and I can find out more info and get more history on this rig. That sure would make a good story about it!
Thank you, jonzcustomshop.

Can someone give me a hand with this one? There's a couple things I can't seem to figure out. Truck's in Canada, but that doesn't mean it was made here. It's a 65, btw:

C154A102495

seems like there is a # missing if it is an american vin tag: c=2wd,15=1/2 ton lwb, 4= pickup, there should be a 5 here for 1965, a= atlanta, 102495=the vin.

here is the vin wiz with a "5" added in the right spot:

.VIN Format: 1965-1966 Chevrolet truck

Decoding: C1545A102495

Digit Usage VIN Decoded
1 Type C Conventional (2WD)
2-3 Model 15 1/2-Ton, Long Wheelbase
4 Body 4 Pickup
5 Year 5 1965
6 Plant A Atlanta GA
7-12 Sequential Serial # 102495 102495

here is a good link from padresaq for titling vehicles in all 50 states.
this should help with all the different requirements for each state.

[66 C30]

Don't think this has been mentioned before, but for the body(4th digit) a 3 designates a cab and chassis.
Also, in my vin, KC3836T120636, what does the first K stand for? The truck is a 1966 2wd 1 ton, 157'' wb. I decoded the vin already, and the only thing that i didn't get was the K and the 38, which i assume is for the 1 ton part. Thanks in advance for the advice.
