vin numbers

[55dude]

guys, trying to id a frame under my 59' fleetside as it has been updated with a 67'-72' 3/4 ton chassis. the main reasons i believe this is era of the frame is front bumper,drum brakes and their is factory crossmember. the truck is titled as a 59', just would like to know what year frame is. thanks

Some one on here should be able to help you. Do you have any pictures of the frame.

Are there numbers and letters on the drivers-side frame just in front of the steering box? Is there a dimple for the steering box? Does it have coils or leaf springs in the back?

These things will help ID the frame.

I have a swb frame under my '67 C-20 that some one cut the number and letters out, but by looking at it I figure it is around a '69 Chevy.

There should be a partial vin on the top of the frame drivers side at the front inline with where the ps pump is. But I don't think you can tell the year.....But I'm not sure.........

on the question of "dimpled frame" were you refering to the fact that pre 67' frames were not dimpled and 76-72' frames were?

Yep, '67 and older did not have the dimple on the frame for the steering box.
