1963 Truck VIN #'s

[Budget63]

I got mine about a month ago.

Vin: 3C1530151677

I'm assuming it was built in Oakland.

Thanks for the link Aero.......I apparently missed that before.

So it sounds like the H designation was for the new Fremont plant, not the Oakland plant.

Is the "What's up with that?" referring to the VIN ending with A and no other numbers after that? I just decoded what was there thinking you didn't want to post your full VIN. I've never heard of a VIN like that. I'd like to see a pic.

[Mackie]

You're right, I just didn't want to post the whole VIN.

Does anybody have total production numbers from each plant for our 63's?

[curvedglass]

Mine has a T for the plant. I looked it up and it is Tarrytown, NY

Guess that makes me the lone T on this list.

Kinda cool. Truck was built in NY and sold in New Jersey at Taylor Chevrolet in Flemington just 85 miles away. The original owner was 12 miles from the dealership. The truck spent its life there until I brought it to Pa - just another 15 miles west.

[1963c-10]

Thanks for the addition curvedglass....I'll get the list updated today. And yes....so far your the only Tarrytown truck.

[1963c-10]

Any new additions?

[Mackie]

Yeah, and I the only Atlanta?

[dirty230]

Add this to the okieland list.

[cheessee]

[63chevyman]

Bought in Reno, Nv in 1964, 3c1440111000

[Mackie]

I bought my `63 SW #3C144A1227765 about 4 yrs. ago near Rochester, NY within sight of Lake Ontario, a long way from it's Atlanta birthplace...like it was trying to defect to Canada :>{
I didn't know enough to decode the VIN but I could tell, looking at the undercarriage, that it hadn't spent long in the rustbelt.
It will soon be moving with me from PA to North Carolina... closer to it's kin.

[awbrown]

VIN 3C144S215034
VIN 3C533S146004
