Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I was looking at a Blazer (actually I found out it is a Jimmy) and a lot of things dont add up. It has a 1972 Chevrolet front clip with K/5 badges on side and a "Chevrolet" tail gate. The VIN is CE10DSA22565 and the person selling it was advertising it as a 1969 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4, but I got him to look at the title and he told me it says GMC. By the VIN, is it a GMC and is it a 4x4?
also can ayone tell me how many 1969 jimmy 4x4s were made? Thanks for any help, Mike

Plenty of people swap the GMC clip to the Chevy clip and the same for the tailgate...

In my opinion, if the title VIN matches the Body VIN - no big deal - in Ohio - those have to match or problems occur with titling

That VIN comes back as a 2wd though - due to the C (should be a K for 4x4)...post up some pix of the thing...

Jimmy numbers are unknown due to (from what I hear) a fire at the document facility (that could be an urban legend though)...

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

none.. If I remember right, they started in 70.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

That is correct, as well as no 2wd Blazers were made in '69, only 4x4s.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Yep, Yep. GMC started in 70 and GMC numbers are not available
unless it was built at the Canada plant (They still have the info)

My 72 GMC 2wd starts with TCE and I am told that the T indicates GMC C=2wd E=1/2 ton.

IIRC GMC Pauls (a site vendor) has a GMC VIN decoder.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

The "T" was used in 1972 only.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I have a '72 GMC Jimmy 4X4 with a vin # TKE 182F-------

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I am doing a 1969 Blazer right now. VIN is BKE149S872585.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

HOLY CRAP!!!! Another BKE! I had to take a picture and post it up here for people to believe me. Mine is the same VIN except for sequence. Must have been a '69 thing?

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Yep BKE.....did anyone have an explanation for this or decode it??

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I was told that "c" was on all vehicls 2wd or 4wd startin in 72.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I have a BKE 1969 Blazer as well. It has the very rare "Color Keyed" two tone interior. It is also a CST. Has anyone found any more info on the BKE vin. By the way my SIN number in the glove box is totally gone so no hope there!

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Bke is right for 1969

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Is there not also other vin's for 69?

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Not for a 69 k5.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

I have seen BKS vin numbers....unless that is the six cylinder?

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Correct bke is 8cyl and bks is 6cyl

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Have you seen anyone else mention the "Color Keyed" two tone interior? I have one of those in CST with Dark Green and Light Aqua interior with Yellow Green Poly paint!

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Do you have any pictures???

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

In the first few pages of the LMC Truck catalog it has VIN decoding. According to that, the A means 69 GMC, and the 0D means it's a GMC Fleetside.

Re: Is this VIN a 1969 Jimmy 4x4?
 

Yes But I have not figured out how to upload them on here yet!

They are at Truck World getting mad now with NOS vinyl now. Will get more pics when they are done!
