Help reading SPID

I saw someone use some imaging stuff and deciphered a really faded spid. Imaging and known codes etc..

Can anyone help with mine, I will get a new one made but want to decipher this one if possible and then keep the glove box as is for "proof".

Thanks in advance for all help.

Re: Help reading SPID

first off i would check whatever #'s you can read on the serial # on the spid and try too match the vin. just to be 100%. i have no reason too believe its not the oe spid but it will give you piece of mind.

spid really doesnt look to be too hard too read too me but yhea most of the codes are gone. and i'm not a numbers person
from what i'm reading is you got yourself a cool cst.

i'm sure it did but it doesnt hurt too make sure. if it didnt then anything on that spid wouldnt matter.


if ya dont know there is a search box at the top of the main page that'll show you some west coast jr. mirrors. there are west coast mirrors also they are allmost the same as jrs. but much larger.

also some guys call some of the later style mirrors west coast jr. but i'm not sure if thats correct or not.

I would love too see a pic of this truck by the way the spid reads its a nice truck....

wheres the pics? we need picks

The truck had the optional below eyeline mirrors like the red CST below. In fact your truck looked pretty much like it when you ignore those rally wheels (pet peeve), roof lamps, spare, bed rails ect.

A WTB classified is probably the best place to start. Be warned it over 100lbs so it needs to be local if possible.

The ratio is not really important but the easiest would be to do a spin the tire check. Be sure to count the teeth for future reference when you service the diff. though.

Gary, You kow this, big blocks came stock with the remote reservoir. It helps things fit and is a cheap fluid cooler too.

Tim, after I posted I went back and looked and noticed the BBC. LOL... I think that would be a cool thing even for a SBC truck to have.

To what end is this?
If you are rebuilding the truck to original and want every line absolutely correct its going to take a lot more work.
Plus its going to take some proper pictures. Even then some characters may end up a best (educated) guess.

If we are doing this just so you can "know" but are modifying the truck a lot then tell us that.

What is the back story here? Earlier this month it was Cheyenne interiors you were asking about.

Clearly 69 CST is a different truck.
Anyway here is a rough draft so far from what you provided.

Re: Help reading SPID

Yes you are correct, I sold the other truck and this is the new one. It's a keeper for sure!

I would like to restore to its original configuration. Only thing I will be changing is the disk conversion and dropping the suspension SOME.....I will take what you've posted and see if I can read the rest to fill in the blanks. Thank you SO MUCH! Sorry to be a pain in the ass but I'm trying to learn

Dana 60s were a HD semi-floating axle as used in some C10s. Probably 3.54. Can you confirm its ratio for me?
