I dont have any for GMC Data Books or and 67-69 GMC Service manuals actually. I had not known anyone here yet to say that GMC changed to stripped/condensed/abbrieviated Model number in the VIN for 1968 and made changed in series identification to 20 for a 3/4 ton instead of 2.
Hmm interesting...kinda would like to have a 67-69 GMC book right now...but I do have the 1967 GMC Canadian Shop Manual PSD 53-130.
Now its version of how to decode 67 GMC vins is still different. More than one way to decode them...I'll say it again.
I'll scan bit of it here.

I never knew of the space being for state certification code in LSGarages vin..thanks for that.
I was looking at older serial numbers for ways that they decode and in that space in 1966 vins for example they put the number of cylinders the engine has..I did say I was guessing in my reply earlier

Good post reply there Roger0080. I'll send you an email too.
