First time poster so it's probably a dumb question.
 

I have a 72 gmc?Chevy? I guess I just haven't really figured out how to read my vin#. Well the DMV info says Chevy? The grill and everything up front is from a GMC and for what it's worth the tailgate says Chevrolet. Here is my vin# if some one can help me out. Cce142j157698

probably had a front end swap.

Re: First time poster so it's probably a dumb question.
 

Or a cab swap. It's a frankentruck. A lot of truck parts have been swapped in the last 40 plus years. I'm in the process of looking for a decent cab -any cab chevy or GMC -to put on my 69 so it will probably change if I can't find another 69 chevy cab.

I looked at one couple of years ago that the guy said was an original 68 chevy. That's what the title said. It had a GMC style 69 or newer front end clip with 4 headlights, the steering wheel was also 69 or newer. When I brought it up to him, he told me I didn't know what I was talking about.

See? Not a dumb question after all. The only dumb question is one that doesn't get asked.

Thanks for the clarification. Have a 5.3 from an '06 to further it's Frankentruck history.

Nothing wrong with that. Very few trucks are all original after 40 plus years. No two alike - that's what makes them unique.
