Need help with frame identification.
I have a frame that came with my '55 body and cab. Replaced the frame with another C-10, but would like to identify the old frame.
4X4 and think it is around 1978 or so but don't know for sure. I did find these numbers on the passenger side about under the cab area. Can some one decode these for me. First, on top of frame under cab. ![]() This one on the outside of the frame under cab. ![]() |

Re: Need help with frame identification.
C6F460131 =
C = Chevrolet (as opposed to GMC) 6 = 1976 F = Flint Assembly 460131 = sequential portion of VIN That would be my guess. The "76" and 5/15/76 on the side of the frame would seem to confirm that. K

Re: Need help with frame identification.
Thanks Keith.
Bought this truck last year and the PO told me it was a 87 4x4 frame that he put the 55 cab and box on. Also told me that it had a 350 ci engine in it and I just assumed it was from the 87. NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING. So now it has a 76 frame and the motor turned out to be a 305 from a 78 Caprice. This project is getting worse by the day. |
