My V.I.N

[71GMCer]

ok well i know there has been abunch of posts on this but this is quite confusing too me.

My VIN is KE134-1Z54160

Now according to this:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/Chevyear.html

Its a:

-4x4
-V-8
-1/2 ton
-1971
-Comes from Fremont

But what is confusing is after the GVW range it has Model code. Now on my VIN it says "34"

what would that be? It only has a 4 for the Model code in the VIN decoder.

Thanks

Confusing

I think you got a 1970 there. GMC decodes different than chevy and each year or so they decode differently. Check the last grouping on the first link w3ifd gave you. 1970-1971 gmc vin. I think he got it right......It is confusing

the cab is definatly a 70 or older with the throttle rod instead of cable.
