New member, 65 future owner, vin ?
Howdy good people, I am a soon to be owner of a 65 chevy truck. Short wheel base, stepside. Bought it here in Texas. I have a couple of questions maybe somebody could help. First is I keep trying to figure my Vin out but it don't make sense with the decoders I have found, It is C1435S117524. I dont see the number 3 in any of the decoders? Second does anyone know what diameter size the original steering wheel was? This truck has an after market on it and it is small, would like to put the biggest possible wheel on it but don't wan't to go stock. When I get Her home I will post a picture of it, again thanks for the oppurtunity to be on this forum, seems like a great grou

Re: New member, 65 future owner, vin ?
I think the 3 denotes chassis- cab. So it would have come from the factory without a bed. Maybe to dealer who installed a utility bed or something similar. The stock steering wheel would have been 17" at least that's what mine was. Welcome aboard. Everything you would ever want to know about these trucks is on this forum.
