I was looking at the VIN and was wondering, did this cab used to be a 2wd 3/4t? Very nice truck though!

Yes.

C =2 wd
E =V8
2 =3/4 ton
4 =Pick up
8 =1968
Z =Freemont plant
103712 =3,712th built

And, yes nice conversion

Thanks for clarifying ETsC10, not a true K10 but I would love to have it

I guess it could be a true SWB K/10 with a cab swap as part of the restoration. Many questions would need answered and,for me,an on site inspection. It sure is a sweet looking truck. I would hope it's as nice as it looks.If not,that would be all the more disappointing. It sure "looks" done right from here.

If the cab was swapped, wouldn't it retain the VIN for the chassis?

I swapped my cab and registered it by the new cab vin so my vin also says its a c10 but it looks like a K20 short bed which they never made.

Like Haysonj said...the VIN is always determined by the cab/body, not the chassis. You could have a corvette chassis under the truck but if you registered it as a corvette you might get some questions asked lol Could be a cab swap or an entirely pieced together truck. Who knows....but it is a nice truck either way.
