there is a guy working on a 62 GO in the project threads. Ask him to take a picture of his tag. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=613242 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

Re: Chevy bread truck help id the frame
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.

Re: Chevy bread truck help id the frame
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?
