VIN Help

Getting ready to buy a 1972 GMC Sierra Grande, the vin is
CE234-S132178

Reading the decoders the 4 in CE234 should indicate Model year.....this is a 1972?

Re: VIN Help

No, that VIN indicates a 70-71 GMC 3/4 ton fleetside 2WD V8 truck.
Posted in the other thread also. Welcome to the site.

Re: VIN Help

Chevy and gmc have different types of VIN numbers. You need to go look at a gmc decoder,

Re: VIN Help

A 72 GMC VIN is preceded by a T, so that rules out a 72.
C = 2WD
E= V8
2=3/4 ton
34=70-71 fleetside.
S=St Louis plant
1=71 model year
Look at 3rd picture on 1st post of the other thread you posted the question in.
