In 72 only Chev put a extra C up front of the vin and GMC put an extra T up front of the vin. Its a eight cylinder.
Vin syas that as well as its a 1/2 ton ,with a box and was built at the Oshawa Plant... its a 72 GMC.
Model number 34 decodes to a fleet side box and the 59 is the cab to axle dimensioin... which in this case is 54 inches. And I dont know why they used 59 to say 54 inches. Model number other numbers break down just like a Vin number. Rod
