Canadian frame VIN
I have a Canadian 66 C10 that I need to stamp the VIN into the new custom frame. Anybody have a picture of a Canadian C10 frame VIN. From what I know the factory didn't stamp the whole VIN (as on the VIN body plate) into the frame and need to see what they included. |

Re: Canadian frame VIN
My old 67 gmc was Canadian built. It had the last 6 numbers of the vin stamped on the top of the frame rail beside the steering box.
Where in BC are you located? |

Re: Canadian frame VIN
That is good information thank you. Sounds like they just stamped the sequential number of your truck on the frame. I'm not far away, Port Alberni.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
I have the VIN or part of it stamped on the frame of my Oshawa, Ontario built 1965 GMC. I can try take a picture of it but it is currently in storage. I'll look to see if I have one that I have taken in the past as well. IIRC, it's stamped on the side of the frame and not the top on mine.
The Canadian GMC's were actually Chevrolets underneath with the trailing arm rear suspension and Chevrolet inline 6 or V8.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
Unfortunately, due to the way the frame is currently stored I wasn't able to see the number. I looked through my photos but couldn't find anything there either. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
I don't know if this helps, but this is stamped on my Canadian 1966 C10 LWB. It is located on the outside vertical surface of the left rail, very close to the front of frame.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
I can see that part of my frame and nothing is stamped on the top of my frame. I'm pretty sure it is stamped into the side of the frame on my truck, which I can't currently see.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
Why do want a picture of a Canadian C10 frame VIN stamp?

Re: Canadian frame VIN
Oh by the way VIN stamping is illegal - Thread locked.

Re: Canadian frame VIN
If you made a custom frame i do not think you need to stamp anything, id keep documentation tho in case youre ever questioned.. and i live in the US so it may be a completely different set of laws
