If you type 1960-1966 vin decoder into the search you can get all the information you need.

Re: vin number decoder

According to the vin number you posted it will be a 66 not a 65.
c-2wd
1-1/2 ton
4-115 wheel base
6-suburban
6-year
z-fremont (where assembled)
108123-8,123rd built

Re: vin number decoder

is there a different decoder for panels/subs vs PU's? If I plug my vin into the one for PU's it tells me I have a 1/2 ton PU but I have a 1 ton panel?

wonder if your tag got changed out? does it match the # on the frame?

they are pretty straightforward to decipher, and there is not a different set of #'s for subs and panels, they read just like the truck vin, and the 4th digit will show if it is a sub or panel, or truck...
check out the thread "where is my 60-66 vin number" for more info- there should be a link in the faq.

the new 66's were available in the fall of 65, and 8k is a lower production #, so yours might have been sold and titled in 65 eventhough it was a 66... does it have the brown dash, and different steering wheel?
