VIN # question
The VIN on my 67 C-10 is CS147Z136860. I have the Chev truck ID number book but I noticed several errors so I don't trust it. The "C" = conventional, the "S" = L6 (my book says V-6), the "1" = 3600-5600, the 4 = ??, the "Z" = Fremont and the rest is the sequence #. OK, what does the "4" mean?? My book says it should be 07, 09, 10, or 14. What gives.
Also under "14" it is stamped "DD", does this mean "Daily Driver"?

Re: VIN # question
 the 4 means it came from the factory with a cab and a stepside box. If it were a 34 it would be a cab and a fleetside box.

Re: VIN # question
Crazy, that is not correct.
04 is a stepside, 34 is a fleet side, and NEITHER of those would be found in the VIN... that is in the model number. Look on the link I posted. I know many places say what you are saying... but they are wrong. Go look at any vin, you'll never find an 04 or 34 in there...onless it is a one ton with a bed...then it'd say 34, but the 3 would mean one ton. |

Re: VIN # question
OK, that makes sense, my book is wrong. What about the "DD"?

Re: VIN # question
DD = delivery date... sometimes they were stamped in the earlier years.

Re: VIN # question
It's actually a common mistake with the bad info that is out there.
That was also one of my first questions when i came here, LMC had that info like that and I came here asking why Longhorn #1 had a VIN for a step side.
