Difficulty decoding a VIN# - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nima · 11-05-2018, 10:11 PM

Hi guys:
I saw this GMC truck at junk yard for sale. It is 3/4 ton but the frame looked shorter than my long bed. It didn't have a bed and I didn't have a measuring tape. Anyways, this is the VIN # CM20DZA14022.

So, what is the "M" and "D" stand for? I don't see these letters on the decoding thread. Do 3/4 tons come short bed? It has 10 bolt read and glove box sticker says it is 127 wheel base.
Thanks

The M stands for V6 gas The OD stands for wide bed.
I will post the link I found it.

Thanks.
A V6?? I even didn't know they came with V6! How the V6 compare with inline6? And why a 3/4 ton has a V6?

This V6 is the real deal.
If I remember right they told me it is 292 cid.
I have only heard of them.
The people I know that had them love them.

regarding 292, look which engine had highest hp rating on this '65 C20 placard

Are they rare? How about the wheel base of 127? I even don't know my 67 C20 wheel base! Are they short bed?

The V-6 was used until 69 and would probably be a 305 or maybe a 351. I think you could even get it in a 1 ton.

127" wheelbase is a longbed. No short bed 3/4 tons
