SPID help

[kwmech]

Putting info together to have a spid made for my GMC. I cannot find any designation regarding a 157'' wheelbase. Any help?

What year gmc?

On the spid, I think you would see reference to 157" in two spots:
1) the "w/base" entry at top of spid
2) the model number. Specifically, I think you would see "64" in the sequence which correlates to 157" wheelbase.

See the attached pic for an example (69 gmc found here). Also, here is a reference point for model numbers... While it doesn't call out 157" wheelbase I think you have enough info to put the pieces together.

Thanks, that helps. I see by that vin that truck has the V6. Mine used to be a Class B motor home with quite a few options involved. The coach part of it was all rotted with water damage and cut off the frame

Here is your model number from the GMC parts book
CM3640V

May be a stupid question, ..... I know what my V.I.N. is, W/Base: 127 IN, ........... but what does the SE mean? Mine says: FT0979401

Thanks

Caution hijack imminent!

Just out of curiosity which dash bezel did your class B have in it?

I put one out of a class B into my Burban. The camper only had 8710 miles on it when it was caught in a flood. It then sat in a barn for 45 years slowly rotting away. I got an almost perfect set of guages from it. They however are a bit odd in that they are a brownish gray color with no chrome that I've never seen before. I've wondered if it was a cab chassis thing.

Is yours similar?

It had the normal bezel for a GMC. I put in the tach dash. One thing that was odd was the t400 did not have a parking pawl or linkage. Nor did the steering column. I had a R N D L L2. That has since been changed also. The truck being a class B had lots of additional stuff though like camper package with heavy suspension, dual battery, HD alternator etc

Are you letting Jeff fix your SPID? (outintheshop)

Here is the spid off of my 71 Chevy C30 ex motor home, also a 157 in. wheel base. No idea if this is any help for you.

Thanks. My mystery continues to be a mystery.
I wonder if GM didn't think the parking pawl was up to the possible load that could be imposed on it with a fully loaded camper and deleted it to dodge any possible liability issue if one were to fail.
