Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
The Only way to tell if your truck's engine is numbers matching is if you have the original build sheet, which will list the code stamped on the front pad of the engine. There is no relationship between the VIN and any of the engine's numbers. You can check the casting numbers and the suffix code to see what yr/model the engine came in, but that's about it. I have the build shhet on my 72 C-20, and it is numbers matching

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Not the original engine, trans or rear end. About the only thing original will be the cab and the frame.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Mine was seriously molested before I got it. Motor, trans, transfer case, cab, one or more fenders, seats, steering column, rear brakes, etc.
Lots of parts from an 85 truck it seems, and a lot of it poorly done. Oh well... |

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
My 72 Cheyenne Super is completely original, but when my dad owned the truck he upgraded to an electric ignition system and Edelbrock carb and intake.
Does that make it non-numbers matching? What does having a numbers matching restore do for the value? Clayton Dorris Norman, OK 1972 Cheyenne Super LWB, 350, Project truck

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
My 72 2x4 LWB 402/400 with dealer added a/c is all original except te chrome bumpers,HEI, and ralley wheels. I haven't checked numbers to be exactly for sure but I know its been that way for 15 years. Dang thought I had a pic at work I guess not.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Going for the 100 pt. restoration...even have the correct split rims on the build sheet and the original spare!!!! It is interesting to note that any dealer installed item, as long as it is documented, is perfectly fine in a 100 pt. restoration.
Original spare tire mounted up for S&G's.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Yes, and it probably will stay that way.
I am old and cheap. 72k original miles. Already rebuilt it. Mods will be to suspension and performance parts.

Numbers matching to me means...if its not the original carb...as long as it has the original type replacement carb that came with the motor its ok. As far as value...that is determined by a potential buyer. To me...all the changes/improvements to my truck could easily be redone to put it back to the original factory condition.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Mine is matching, except for the paint. It has been repainted, but it is the factory color.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
Looks like the factory matching trucks are staying at about 45%.

Re: Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck?
The original owner put in a re manufactured engine in 1982 but it looks factory as far as appearances go. I have a 283 with a build date that would be correct for my 1967 that I may switch to but I don't think it matters as far as value.
