I want to thank you for all the help if finding out what exactly this truck is. The previous owner my Step Dad. Was pretty honest about things. He loved the Cheyenne more than the GMC and converted it.
Though the SPID in glove box is wrong. I believe only 3 options do not exist on the truck. A11-tinted glass, UY1-Camper wiring, and VK2-Tool and stowage box (if it means storage box behind passenger door bottom corner of bed),
I will look under the hood for the 2nd location of partial vin. on the frame later today.
What I was thrilled about is the 400ci engine. Only has 425 original miles on it.
Again, was/is there such model truck as C1000? If its on internet it has to be right. LOL JK
Another thing my step Dad said was that the rear wheels both spin in the same direction and not like most cars that one spins forward and the other backward. I'm sure it has a name and only known this for classic hot rods.
Second, he's adamant that I use top of the line fuel with a lead fuel additive. Any idea why? Keeping engine nice and coated? Again. Im not an under the hood car guy yet. I know the basics. I'm more of a 2A freedom builder guy. I almost feel I'm not worth such a classic truck. I live close to a small airport and step Dad was also a pilot. He told me if I could to use the fuel they use for small aircraft. Beyond me. He's an old schooler.

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.
