Well,thats the years multiple truck parts came from for the 71,a matter of fact...the only thing that I still have on the truck from when I bought it was the axles and frame,which both had considerable work done.The bed is a '68.Cab is '71,Fenders from '69.Seat from a '72.Door panels from a '70.Well,now I can add the K20 status to it.As some know,there wasnt any 3/4 ton shortbeds,and thats true for the 4x4s too.Mine,is an original shortbed 4x4.But,as I looked over the VIN,something caught my eye.The first digits arent correct.It starts with KE234.Thats a vin for a 3/4 ton 4x4 with a V8.Not matching the VIN thats on the glovebox.It,which is original states it had a 6 cylinder.Not a V8.And has the short wheel base listed.
So,I guess I better look for a different cab w/ title and correct VIN.You cant tell from the door jam VIN the wheelbase,so any 1/2 ton 4x4 will fix my need.
Still makes me mad.But,atleast the VIN thats on it had the glovebox in the back.Which the truck was a loaded truck sporting Tow hooks,tach,manual throttle,posi rear.

Remindes me of the Johnny Cash song about the cadillac he built by stealing parts from the factory.

That song was playing while I typed the first post and that got fitted into the title with some creativity

You don`t have any plates/titles from any trucks you parted?You just need a VIN-plate and title.Buy another junker.Didn`t you get a title when you bought that from the junkyard?

It didnt come w/ a title but did come with a bill of sale.I was going to apply for a lost title and get a title......I have some good titles but none w/ 4x4 VIN.I'd like to go with a correct one.As far as which motor you can decode on the VIN,I dont care but would like to get a correct 4wd vin.If worse comes to worse,I will use a 2wd VIN....might get lucky and pick up a correct 4wd 1/2 ton 71 title and VIN to use though
