vin decoding problems.....

[62k10&84k20burb]

Hello all, I'm trying to decode the vin on my 68..things go screwy at the 5th digit..supposed to be a number, and it's an "f" my vin starts cs30fpb...then goes to the 5digits

1968 GMC
C = 2WD
S = I-6 gas
3 = 1 Ton
0F = Cab Platform Stake
P = Pontiac Assy. Plant
B = 1968
1XXXX = Build sequence number, starts at 1001

Thanks! All the decoders didn't have those options. And they were saying the 5th # was supposed to be a digit for the year.

On the 1967 to 1971 Chevys the 5th digit was the year. The GMC's decoded differently until 1972, then they were the same. On the decoders you looked at, what did they say about the letter B?

BTW That's a nice looking C-30 in your avatar. And a factory Stake bed, very cool. What are your plans for it?

There was nothing on the decoders about "B". Thank you! And it's a dump box! This summer plans includes lots of body work..looks good, but the floor is rotted pretty bad. Other plans are trying to find some 4.11s for her! And eventually a paint job

Awesome! That is so cool. Looking forward to seeing it as your restoration progresses.

Thanks man!!! Pics will be up within a month or so!

I was just looking at your build sheet thread and I was wondering if your SPID (glovebox option sticker) was still intact.

[62k10&84k20burb]

Nope nowhere to be found...looks as if it was scraped right off. No remnants.

[bruceman1968]

Same as my truck, It's a 68 C-10, SPID was gone and the GB door was repainted. I did have a protect o plate, so that helped a little.

I found a little tag behind the seat, saying "truck back" and a number.
