Re: Please Help Identify This GMC Medium Duty

That's right on the emblems. The same holds true on '67 light duties. The GMC with series under it began use in '68. Up to a 6500 can be a medium duty. The Cs, Es, and Hs Blend and intertwine in that grey area. Not sure what you know so far about the VIN, but E is the chassis type (like C and K), M is the V6, and 5 is the GVW range (5500). The rest varies from light duties in those, by my reference. That's a neat truck. So, it's a flatbed with a dry goods box mounted on top, or is it just hauling that?

I wasn't aware that the early ones had no emblems.

Good eye, Tim. I didn't even notice that. Looks like it also has a Hydraulic Gate on the back as well.

That's the only way I know one is a 66 or 67. You mentioned something about turn signal locations telling what year. What are the differences there?

Yeah, I noticed the gate on the rear,too. I wonder if the truck is set-up to adapt either way or if the box is just there to transport? It's not strapped, so must be bolted
