Need a little help with VIN & Model #
Hey guys I have a 1971 GMC 3/4T 4x4 that has been in the family since new. It has been sitting for about 10 years after my dad used it around the farm the 20 years before that. I'm thinking about restoring it and need help deciphering all the codes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
VIN - KE234-S118668 (From drivers side door jam...not sure if the 1's are 1's or I's) Model # - KE25934 (From glove box door) Thanks in advance |

That VIN decoder is for a chevy, GMC doesn't match up. Rod is a GMC VIN guru, all I really see there is a V-8 4X4 truck built in St luis

Did you get an owner's manual with it? They have one in there.

The Models simple to decode.
KE25934 K = 4x4 E= eight cyl 2 = 3/4 ton 59 = 54 inches, cab to rear axle 34 = wideside/fleetside box KE234-S118668 As for the vin its fairly easy too K= 4x4 conventional body E= eight cyl 2 = 3/4 ton 34 = pickup box body - = state code if applicable, otherwise it just dash, as in this case S = St. Louis assembly plant 1 = 1971 18668 is the sequence number of the total vin Last edited by Rod; 03-09-2007 at 12:24 AM. |
