Re: Can anyone identify my frame
That's a part number and date code.
The partial VIN will be on the top of the upper flange of the frame rail. K

The frame might have been too dirty to feel for other numbers. I'll wash it tonight and try again.

I do not recall any big changes between '76 and '77 with the frames, chassis or suspension. K

Re: Can anyone identify my frame
I feel like one of the biggest identifiers is my emergency brake cable holder. The only vehicles I've seen with this kind of parking brake cable mount have been the K5 blazers. But the frame on a K5 Blazer isn't very long and my frame has been cut to a short frame so maybe that doesn't make sense.

Re: Can anyone identify my frame
So your frame has a splice in it.
The front may be from one frame and the rear part from another truck.

Re: Can anyone identify my frame
I finally found the frame vin but all that told be was that it's a 1976 Chevy from St Luis.
