Newbie VIN help??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KAILUAZ · 07-12-2005, 08:47 PM

Hello all, after seeing a 70 GMC fleet side in my area for sale and missing my 72 Blazer I had in high school (along time ago), I think I may make the buy.
I haven't contacted the owner yet, but looking up the tag I found he is the second owner with just under 100,000 and found the VIN.
I did a few searches but have yet to decipher the complete VIN. So far all I have is its a 4x2, V8 (350), and 3/4 ton. Can anyone help, I would like to know more before contacting the owner and haggling on his $3500 obo.
VIN: CE2342259273
Some of the 2's may be Z's.
Thanks all and great site!!

tomatocity, that is only for the Chevy VINs...GMC was not the same.
i don't have the decodes for '70...GMC chainged quite a bit.

Welcome to the board...there's a couple ppl on here that'll decode that for you off the top of there head.

Cool, so far, 4x2, V8, 3/4 Ton, Fleetside, 1970. I think that is correct, anyone else?

longhorn71 · 07-13-2005, 12:06 AM

c=2wd
e= v-8
2=3/4 ton
34=fleetside
2=this number should be a letter for an american made truck or a 1 for canadian made trucks(made it is a z for fremont plant)
Z=1970
59273=serial number(remeber this number is a running total for vehicles made in that plant for the year includeing cars and vans)

Also, a few months ago GMC Paul was nice enough to decode a GMC I was thinking about buying. Thank you Paul.

Thanks everyone!! I've been looking through the board a bit and now I have some what of an idea of what I'm looking at.
The truck seems to be in decent shape, a little rust here and there. Is there any "one" special spot that I should look at prior to buying?
$3500.00 seems on the high side, but I really have no idea if this is a deal, or if there are a bunch of 3/4 tons out there worth looking at.
Thanks again!
Ill try to get some pics if it is parked in the same spot today.
