Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck? - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMC AMI · 03-08-2009, 11:39 AM

Two of mine are matching and two are not. The poll only allows for one vote.

fjthompsoniii · 03-09-2009, 12:38 AM

2 wheel drive is matching, 4 wheel drive is not.

**70cst** · 03-09-2009, 07:14 AM

Looks like the % of numbers matching trucks is keeping about 45%. Not bad for 40 year old trucks.

BossHogg69 · 03-14-2009, 07:44 PM

mine came with a 307 and a powerglide. it now has a 454 and a turbo 400, so I'm really glad the numbers don't match...

**70cst** · 03-16-2009, 10:57 AM

Hey...we are getting close to 50% as being numbers matching. Not bad for 40 year old trucks.

bowtiedude · 03-19-2009, 06:49 PM

The spelling only thing original on either of my trucks. My son's truck is in the same boat. (or will be when finished)

68C10HotRod · 03-20-2009, 01:25 AM

Guess I view #s matching as being the factory installed motor, trans, axle & all other options on the SPID being correct but not necessarily the original - dealer repairs of almost any kind are ok. Usually when a vehicle has never had any resto work or mods & typically they're low mileage, it's a SURVIVOR - rare.

That being said, I think mine was pretty close to a survivor when I got it last year but that's been changing over for reliability & driveability sake in the last month or so.

Still has 292, 4spd, posi, Light Green, Green vinyl.
Added HEI, lowered 3/3, '93 6-lug disc conversion with boost - almost road ready. MANY THANKS to board members submitting FAQ info.

Considering a 5spd & might do EFI if the motor runs as strong as it sounds in the drive.

Great thread!!

Mine is a 1972 C20, 350 4 barrel engine, T350 Trans. It is ALL matching numbers, original alternator, starter, carb, distributor, trans, engine. 76,000 miles, mostly original paint, A/C, tach. I had the intake off and it is the high nickel block and steel tufftrided crank in it. Go figure. Same block and crank as LT1 engine.

CARZ1968 · 04-01-2009, 03:49 AM

72 highlander yes!
68 suburban, fortunately no!

**70cst** · 04-01-2009, 07:31 AM

Thanks for all your feedback...this is very intersting info. Thanks again!!!

Gray Ghost · 04-01-2009, 06:30 PM

It is now but it won't be soon if I can help it!~

red71c10 · 04-01-2009, 10:28 PM

Mine is and I'm sure I'll keep it that way. The 350/350TH is plenty good for me. I plan on keeping it almost completely stock anyway.

kwplot34 · 04-01-2009, 10:49 PM

It is very much original, for now. I see big changes for this truck on the Horizon
Out with the 283,in with an LS5 454,out with the power glide,in with a TH 400,and those 4 wheel drum brakes non power,yea that has to go.

67CHIP72 · 04-02-2009, 12:15 AM

Matching #'s and my daily driver for the last 2 months. Just under 122K original and running strong.

knsmodels · 04-02-2009, 07:56 PM

numbers match except for the rear......original went and I replaced it with posi..

whatnow123 · 04-02-2009, 09:27 PM

I think this really depends on what numbers you are talking about. My truck is numbers matching and I can prove it.. point to a part and I have a receipt with the matching number for the price paid..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-02-2009, 09:28 PM

heck no......

tim21391 · 04-02-2009, 11:02 PM

mine is matching but wont be since im changing the paint to a dif color

crazy longhorn · 04-03-2009, 01:53 AM

The frame & cab # match.....after that, It took a halve dozen parts trucks to get the rest in check. Dont call her a "mutt" tho.....she gets whizzed & pukes oil on you!

Tx Firefighter · 04-03-2009, 06:17 AM

Well, let's see. My left frame rail is from a 68. My right frame rail is from a 72. The cab is from a different 72 1 ton. The engine and trans are from a 78.

I'm serious.
