but knowing what I know about production engineering, I would bet that the first letter is a month because months are easily expressed in single alpha characters, the second two are the year because years are not easily expressed in a single alpha but are easy as two digit numerals, the middle numbers are the body type, and the last set is the serials.

so maybe a march 1960, body type 12, serial 5507? usually GO made bread vans from 1 tons, both single and dual rear wheel types. the c could also mean chevrolet, as they used the same bodies on fords

Re: Chevy bread truck help id the frame

well I would say it might be around 50-60, go to olson trucks and look at the ones there, theses trucks were heavy from 1/2 ton all the way up to 2 ton, google olson trucks it should bring you up to the page, hope this helps

It looks like late 50s to early 60s. If it has 17 or 18 in single wheels it is a 1 ton. That is an all aluminum body. They will last almost forever. It probably has a 235 6 cyl. engine with a 4 speed granny trans.

Looks like an 8-lug P30 chassis if it says Chevy on it. Here's my '63 GMC P60 bread van which is a 5/10 lug 2Ton dually.It has a few vin tags on the driver side door area with production info. Those the only tags you have?
