Canadian blazer vin??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a 2wd blazer yesterday and im having trouble with the vin, the vin reads CE1845640260 I can decode CE18 and after that I cant get any farther. my registration says its a 1971 blazer 4x4. anyone else is Canada with a 2wd that registers as a 4x4?

The VIN and your description both define it as a 2wd. The folks at the DMV are not hardcore experts and can make mistakes when applying a noun name to register the vehicle. If you feel strongly I suggest you take it back and get it fixed; otherwise if the VIN on the title matches the vehicle I wouldn't worry about it.

Also - I think the "5" might actually be an "S" for St Louis (the 7th digit from the right end is the plant code. There is no 5).

thanks keith, that's one of the things that was throwing me off was there was no letter in there for the plant it was built at. I don't know if this blazer is originally from Canada but the story I got was it was purchased new by the ne person and passed through the family until the guy I bought it from purchased it

I will have to check the spid when I get it home and see if I can get the title straightened out so it reads properly

Don't forget to share pictures! I see you aren't very far from me. I live in Williston, ND. Did you find it locally?

yea Williston is only about an hour away I think, the guy I bought the blazer from lives 10 minutes away

heres a couple pics the previous owner had in his for sale ad. blazer was gold but he sprayed it with flat black primer
