From my findings i believe the truck is a 70 c1500?
Now before i go further with my findings. I saw on the web same truck but called c1000. Is there any difference between 1000 and 1500? Both stated 1/2 ton trucks. One guy said 1000 may have meant short bed and 1500 meant long bed. Which i found hard to believe. Any clarification? your vin plate and frame are from a 1970 c1500 gmc
back to the subject at hand. The two following pics. Are of the vin. Plate on door frame panel. The 2nd pic. Is the number on the side of the frame which is, "393 801 -466 and 8 5 25 right below it. What do they mean? still not sure, part number, batch number, steel id, date code, ect. Whatever they are their not the frame vin.
i started to get frustrated because this number did not match anything. So i look at bruces pic. On where to find partial on frame. Diagram said top rail of frame. How was i going to check this with the truck sitting on top? Well i got all border agent. I went under the truck and ran my fingers down the top rail to feel for a stamp. I found the stamp and took a mirror and flash light to read the numbers. The number read, "1 506o". If im correct and you guys can verify. The 506 matches the vin. Plate on door frame. you can check the frame stamp on the front. You can see it just by opening the hood. I added another pic to better show that location. Good on you for going all CSI border agent with your flashlight and mirror to find the frame vin that is under the cab. You found enough of it for me to think that your frame belongs with your vin plate. See if you can find the 9 in the second location.
so do i have a 70 gmc c1500 converted to 71-72 cheyenne 10 super? Pretty much yes. Nice that the seller was open and honest about that.
If anybody has questions or wants pics. Of other parts of the truck let me know.

All of the VIN decodes above are correct.
Your VIN plate isn't attached with original rosehead rivits. That may or may not be a problem. Randy500 makes good points.
Your SPID is from a different truck, so nothing on it applies.
Lot's of trucks built at Oshawa were for American buyers. Special-K is just having some fun with you. He was no doubt laughing to himself when he made his post. He's fun like that.
