undecodable gmc vin - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMCrazy · 07-10-2003, 12:36 AM

i have tried decoding this vin with every decoder i could find on the internet with no luck. i took it to a gmc dealership and they couldnt tell me much about it. i believe it to be a 1970, i was told it had a factory installed 327 when i got it, but i cannot find any information on any of these trucks having that motor in them. however, this truck has been in the family since new and the motor has never been swapped. i cannot find any sort of engine code on the motor niether. any help would be very much appreciated!!

vin # - CE10D-PB50290
DD

Interesting...according to GMC Paul's decoder [http://www.gmcpauls.com/67-72_gmc.htm] your truck is as follows:

C= 2wd
E= V8 gas
1= 1/2 ton
OD= wideside (fleetside bed)
P= Pontiac, Mi. ass'y plant
B= 1968
everything else= serial #

if it is indeed a '68, the 327 could be stock. if it is a '70, i don't think 327's were any longer an option.

Welcome to the board. Is alabama one of the states that don't require a title? what about your registration papers...the year should be on your papers somewhere.
327s were not installed in 70 trucks. That stopped in 68 I think.

GMCrazy the truck VIN is for a 1968 GMC, 1969GMC decoded the VIN correctly.

If you want to get more info on the engine, www.mortec.com for that.

Does it still have the option sticker on the glovebox door?

And finally...pics?
