Re: VIN Decoding Help
The last 6 digits are usually the unit number (1xxxxx)...so your would of been the 24,569th burb off the Flint production line
so C= Chevy K=4x4 E=V8 2=5,200 6=burb 2=1972 F=Flint 124659= vehicle # off the flint line I use this...probably one of the few things LMC has that I like http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=9

Re: VIN Decoding Help
no it's the 124,569th unit built in the plant in 1972. The rig in front (unit 124568) or after (unit 124570) could have been a pick-up, blazer, jimmy, panel or another burb as all were built alongside each other at the same time
