Hey guys! Can anyone help me with decoding my 68 GMC? It seems to have an extra number in the vin and also a weird symbol that kinda looks like an 8. Vin # is C9E2481119601. Everywhere I look, the second digit (9) shouldn't be there, but it is. Also, like I said, the sixth digit (8) isn't raised up like the other numbers and letters and it almost looks like a symbol. Thanks.

I think it is a Canadian thing cause mine has the nine as well

sweetnlow67 · 04-02-2010, 10:22 AM

c9e2481119601
c = 4x2
9 = ?
E = v8 gas
2 = 3/4 ton
4 = pickup with cab and bed
8 = 1968
1 = oshawa (assembly plant)
119601 = vehicle serial number

both of your trucks came from the same plant interesting lol hope this helps

i dont know if i would worry about the 9, my vin number has a t at the begining of it but i cant find anything on it either

curtis68gmc · 04-02-2010, 11:41 AM

Hey guys thanks for your help with the vin issue. I'll keep looking around and let you know. I read somewhere that the T in the front of the vin meant it was a GMC - 1972 model year.

sweetnlow67 · 04-02-2010, 11:48 AM

wow! thanks for the info, that must be exactly what the T is for because that what the truck is lol

curtis68gmc · 04-02-2010, 12:12 PM

So, the numbers at the end of my vin 119601 means that it was the 19,601 truck built that year? Did they really build that many at one plant?

sweetnlow67 · 04-02-2010, 12:29 PM

i guess thats what that means, i know where 2 of them are lol

Any of you guys who live in Canada ever order stuff for for your truck? If so, is there a place in Canada to order from? I just ordered an $18 mirror from the states and its gonna cost me $75 bucks to get it here. It has to be cheaper to ship in Canada then it is from the States, not?

"is there a place in Canada to order from?"

"Also, like I said, the sixth digit (8) isn't raised up like the other numbers and letters and it almost looks like a symbol. Thanks." I have a picture of my vin on the door post for ya does the 8 look the same?
