Vin question
Ok my 71 chevy shortbox, Its a 2wd body on a newer 4wd frame (73-87). On top of the passenger side frame rail stamped in is C5Z118847. The C looks like a C. Maybe a O. I looked all over the net but nothing sounds right. What year is the frame? Original engine?

Re: Vin question
Thanks for the response.
The frame is almost definately factory 4wd. Did they make a 350 diesel 4x4?

Re: Vin question
no, it is stating that it was either a v8 350 or a diesel. Diesel engines from the gen was i believe a 6.2L.
