[Dinos63]

Can't wait to see that one! And it looks like a 66 by the square GMC letters in the grille.

Yes Tony,


There is a little problem with the year ... title says 1965 the guy I bought it from says it is a 1966 ?

Dino... yes I am addicted .... Maybe I should just send this one out to Burbank , CA and let it be "DELMOized" ... maybe It would get done then ?

We are swamped here with powder coat work and have a huge project going to Detroit for the Ridler in 2012 .... so project " NO PAINT" has kinda been put aside for awhile....

According to my LMC catalogue if your truck was made in Pontiac the VIN decodes like this:
if it's between F1001 - F20000 it's a 64
if it's between F20001 - F40000 it's a 65
if it's F40001 and up it's a 66

If it was made in Oakland or Freemont it decodes like this:
if it's between F1001 - F7000 w/o I6 or F1001 - F4000 w/I6 it's a 64
if it's between F7001 - F12000 w/oI6 or F4001 and up w/I6 it's a 65
if it's F12001 and up it's a 66
I'm guessing that since it's a shortbed it's a 1/2 ton 2WD. If so the VIN should start with 1001, 10 = 1/2 ton and 01 = short wheelbase (If the VIN starts with an "I" it was an I6 truck), followed by a letter designating the manufacturing plant. P = Pontiac, C or H = Oakland and Z = Freemont. After that should be the "F" (indicating 64-66) followed by the build number and an A or B for the GVW rating. Hope that helps.

if it is an "i" then it should have an inline 6, and there is usually a little space beteween the i and the 1
66's were released in late 65, so it is possible that it is a 66 bought and titled in 65...
there was onother guy here once that had the opposite problem, his was titled as a 67.. all probably depends on how the state/county were titling in those years...

you may just have to get someone else at the mvb that has a few more smarts or a senior person to have a look at it
my reg actually had mine as SK and I just went in one day and they came out and looked at it and corrected it right now as 5K

I believe the issue here is the federal numbering vin rules and the latest computer software. Under the new regulations the vins must be 17 digits and conform with certain parameters......the number in the first position does not conform to that software configuration. Kieth
