Re: 1972 Canadian Decode queston

Good Question! If you go to the SPID picture thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=282003 the SE box is blank in most of the SPID pictures from our US neighbors. Canadian trucks seem to have this box filled in. Mine is FT0707964 on my Oshawa built GMC. Anybody else have any info on what this is?

SE is special equipment... no clue what the equipment is, nor the code.

Re: 1972 Canadian Decode queston

Im pretty sure SE means Serial (number) Ive had 6 or 7 Oshawa truck. All the serial numbers start with FTO as far as I can tell. I don’t think there is any decoding it. Not sure if it has a purpose either since the VIN is already on the sticker. Oh and so much for snow… nothing here. Had to drive up north to snowmobile.

Hello from a fello Canadian,
I know what you are going through, for some reason Canadian built truck sand their codes are hard to figure out. The truck I currently have starts like this, C9S .
Does it match part of the VIN, not sure if it is suppose to. Sorry not much help.

Re: 1972 Canadian Decode queston

Strange ... and thanks everyone for the replies. Those numbers must mean something..... but WHAT?

We also have a 1970 GMC Suburban and there isn't anything printed in the "SE" space on the glove box sticker. I guess it will remain one of life's mysteries ... right up there with why would anyone in their right mind spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to restore an old rusty piece of crap.

How many months till spring?

SE is special equipment. That's not a guess, it's straight from GM literature.

Go down to additional options and click manage attachments then click browse and then find your folder of pics and click and download.

You can also go through someone like photobucket, but that just adds a couple more steps.

Re: 1972 Canadian Decode queston

Longhorn man is right-SE stands for Special Equipment. I have my Canadian GMC Truck Shop Manual and that's what SE stands for. Unfortunately, no information on the numbers in the book for SE.

GM has a website for this. Not sure what they charge for looking up numbers.
