Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

I'll try and get a more definitive answer, but my understanding is that truck production started at number 100,000. Which makes yours # 5199 for the Baltimore plant and it should cover all trucks that came off their assembly line.

So far its the oldest 63 we have a VIN for.

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

Any more numbers to add?

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

Currently in resto. Ours is:

3-C-14-4-S-197366

Built in St. Louis # 97366. 2 tone Brigade Blue. Purchased in Texas. Not sure of the history...Would love to know.

3 C 1 4 4 J 1 1 6 4 2 2

Mine was born in Janesville, Wisconsin. So far, I have the only one. That must make my truck exceedingly rare ... and therefore, exceedingly valuable. :hh:

3C144S149749

Haven't looked up where it was built.

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

It was built in St. Louis.

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

You put a Duramax diesel in it?!

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

That would be cool. That's my daily driver. Thanks for the info where built.

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

Mines from Oakland, it also has barden bumper from Oakland, but I'm not sure if it came with it. My step brother picked it up at an army base in Colorado and I traded him title for title (Restored 74 grand prix) as soon as I saw it. 3C1540116306

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

Your truck was 387 units ahead of mine.:metal:

Re: 1963 Truck VIN #'s
 

I've got two, both getting ready to start work on.

3C144S131116 - The PO had a small fetish with John Deere and went crazy with a couple rattle cans of John Deere green on the exterior and matching interior door panels of John Deere yellow. Even finished it out with John Deere camo seat covers and floor mats. Purchased with the '60 grill installed, soon to be replaced with a '63.

The other one is 3C144S174216 - originally purchased as a parts truck for the other, it was too good of a deal to pass up. I'm starting to grow fond of the patina though and am thinking about patching some of the holes and then just clear coating the exterior.
