This looks like a nice original 70 GMC....the guy says the original owner painted awhile back, not rust, new chrome, new engine....cannot seem to figure out the SPID...is it a 71??

gcburdic · 02-14-2011, 01:41 PM

okay...found this off member 'chipflyer' web site....http://outintheshop.com/vin_decode.html

C=4x2
E=V8 gas
1=1/2 ton
3=cab and chassis (?)
4=fender side pickup (?)
-= ???
1=Osahwa (where the heck is this plant???)
Z=1970
60628=serial #

**special-K** · 02-14-2011, 02:11 PM

Yeah,the mirrors say it's a '70 or earlier (if original). Someone popped a '67 Grille in. Now it's a GMC GMC

gcburdic · 02-14-2011, 02:14 PM

I saw that too special-K....I'm a newb to GMC's, so I wondered which was correct!!!

Anyone have any idea on the 3 and 4 in the VIN?? Did I decipher the SPID correctly using chipflyer's website

gcburdic · 02-15-2011, 02:58 PM

ttt.....anybody??

geezer#99 · 02-15-2011, 03:13 PM

Oshawa built truck means built in Oshawa Ontario Canada.

Longhorn Man · 02-15-2011, 04:15 PM

CE1341Z60628
C 2 wheel drive
E v8 gas
1 1/2 ton
34 fleet bed
1 1971
z freemont California
60628 production number

not positive, haven't seen my GMC notes in a long time, but I hink that's how it decodes.

gcburdic · 02-16-2011, 09:53 AM

so it just might be a 71....ummm....listed wrong I guess....going to look at it Friday

Longhorn Man · 02-16-2011, 10:24 PM

interesting point, that has the tranny listed as an M38. In the trucks, both TH trannys were supposed to be M49. The M38 was a TH350 in car talk.

gcburdic · 02-17-2011, 09:47 AM

Good info there LHM...Thanks

The ChipFlyer web site for decoding only went up to 1971 for GMC. I take it that GMC vin started with the letter T for 1972

But the hood and trim says no way is it a 67

bruceman1968 · 02-17-2011, 11:20 PM

Their are 4 different formats for the gmc 67 to 72 vins. It can get confusing. Chipflyer's website is correct.
That vin decodes to a 1970 from Oshawa.
The 1 is Oshawa and the Z is 1970. Gcburdic you decoded it correctly and Andy your memory is still darn impressive.

EDIT gcburdic just noticed your question about the 3 and 4. It's 34 and it says 34=wideside pickup

it has a 67 gmc grille
