Help with ID'ing truck-67 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up a 67 SWB GMC C-10 at Shades of the Past this weekend. Its a running/driving truck that I'm going to clean up a bit and drive around while I'm finishing my 72. The id sticker in the glove box is illegible unfortunately and I find this truck really interesting. Is there a way to decode the vin or any other way to figure out what this truck was from the factory?

It has:

Big Back Window
Leaf Springs (its a gmc)
307 V8
Th400 (The column shift says PRND21, so it was originally a 3 spd I assume)
Buddy Buckets
Looks like originally a white truck
Blue interior
Black dash pad
door panels are missing
Has the tall emblem on the front fender behind the wheel
No side trim
I think it has a 68 grille because it doesnt have GMC stamped in it????

Any ideas? I'll work on getting some pictures. My plan is just to clean it up fix a bit of the rot and enjoy the hell out of it.

. . . .

If you can post some pictures of what you have, we can probably help with all of your questions. ( including that grill )

( The Turbo Hydromatic 400 IS a 3 speed transmission, usually with larger engines then the 307, I thought )

The VIN information below, is for a NON Canadian built GMC:

Thanks. The first part of the vin is CS1570DPC

So it is originally 2wd, I-6, 1/2 ton, shortbed, wideside, built in Pontiac, 1967

So someone swapped in the 307 and the 400. I'm going to try to grab some numbers off those and see what they are.

I still find it interesting that the truck appears to have the deluxe interior on an otherwise base model pickup.

So I got the numbers off the engine since it wasnt original hoping maybe it was a 350! but nope, it is a 1968 307 from a B-body. Oh well, it still runs!

So at the moment I am looking for a 4 barrel manifold on the cheap and driver quality tailgate. I'm getting a bed floor from a friend and I'm still out on whether or not I'll repair or replace the driver bedside.

Anyone know if these are correct 67 buckets?
