vin ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'd like to get an accurate handle on this...
My VIN plate is as follows:
C - Chevrolet (1972 only)
C - 2wd
E - 8 cylinder
6 - 60 series
1 - Conventional Cab?
6 - Check #?
V - Plant location?
104528 - (4,528th unit built)
Any input is welcome. This plate is about it for identifiers.
[btw, the vin is NOT from truck in my avatar]

We used to carry these VIN cards around in our pocket (along with our pocket protector and note cards).

1 = "Conventional Cab" just means a regular two door body style with a long nose (not cabover, and not four door)

6 = "Check digit" - my card doesn't show a check digit; check digits did not come into use until 1981. In any case it is a randomly assigned digit to fill that spot so that one can't arbitrarily re-create a VIN after the fact. (You have to know the specific check digit in order to know the accurate full VIN).

V = Pontiac Michigan (South Blvd, as opposed to Opdyke Rd Light Duty, which started with GMT400, or headquarters at Montcalm/Joslyn, which was passenger car only).
