Stupid Question??
How do I tell if my burb is 1/2 or 3/4 ton? Thought it would say on vin or title. It's a 2wd coil rear. VIN is CE169Z877268 if that helps. Thanks for any help.

Re: Stupid Question??
6 lug wheels = 1/2 ton through 70
5 lug wheels = 1/2 ton 71 and 72 (unless 4x4, still 6 lug.) 8 lug wheels = 3/4 ton. 2 or 4 wheel drive.

Your 'burb has the correct lug pattern, '67-'70 had 6 lugs drum brakes all arround for a 1/2 ton, for a 3/4 ton it had 8 lugs all around regardless of the year, but in '71 they came out with the disc brake on the front (this disk upgrade applies for all trucks regardless if it was a half ton, 3/4 ton or a 1 ton) Now for 4X4, all 1/2 ton ('67-'72) were 6 lugs with the disc change in '71 as mentioned above. |

Re: Stupid Question??
BTW, does your 'burb have a C-10 or C-20 badge? c-10 is a 1/2 ton and C-20 would be a 3/4 ton.

Re: Stupid Question??
As in a previus post broke it down to a 1/2 ton I thought some that don't have a decoder would like this; 1967-1972 VIN Number Codes Example: CE149J 100001 # Chassis Designation (1st digit) C= 4x2 # K= 4x4 # Engine Deisgnation (2nd digit) E = V-8 Gas # S = Six Cylinder Gas # GVW Range (3rd Digit) 1 = 1/2 Ton # 2 = 3/4 Ton # 3 = 1 Ton # Model Code (4th Digit) 4 = Pickup with Cab and Bed # Model Year (5th Digit) 7 = 1967 # 8 = 1968 # 9 = 1969 # 0 = 1970 # 1 = 1971 # 2 = 1972 # Assembly Plant A = Atlanta # B = Baltimore # F = Flint # J = Janesville # N = Norwood # P = Pontiac # S = St. Louis # T = Tarrytown # Z = Fremont # 1 = Oshawa # Vehicle Serial Number 100001 = 1st Unit Built 1967-1972 Model Number Codes (The Model Number is located on the inside of the glove box door.) Example: C E 1 09 9 34 J 100001 # Chassis Designation (1st digit) C = 4x2 # K = 4x4 # P = Forward Control # Engine Deisgnation (2nd digit) E = V-8 Gas # S = Six Cylinder Gas # GVW Range (3rd Digit) 1 = 1/2 Ton # 2 = 3/4 Ton # 3 = 1 Ton # Cab To Axle Dimension (4th Digit) 07 = 42"-47" # 09 = 54"-59" # 10 = 60"-65" # 12 = 72"-77" # 13 = 78"-83" # 14 = 84"-89" # 15 = 90"-95" # Model Year (5th Digit) 7 - 1967 # 8 - 1968 # 9 - 1969 # 0 - 1970 # 1 - 1971 # 2 - 1972 # Body and Brake (6th Digit) 02 = Flat Face Cowl # 03 = Cab # 04 = Stepside Pickup # 05 = Panel # 06 = Suburban # 09 = Cab, Platform, and Stake Rack # 12 = Windshield Cowl # 16 = Suburban (Tail and Liftgate) # 26 = Custom Suburban (Panel Rear Doors) # 34 = Fleetside Pickup # 35 = Foward Control (Square Front) # 36 = Deluxe Suburban (Panel Rear Doors) # 42 = Forward Control Chassis # 45 = Forward Control Panel (Round Front) # Assembly Plant A = Atlanta # B = Baltimore # F = Flint # J = Janesville # N = Norwood # P = Pontiac (GM Truck) # S = St. Louis # T = Tarrytown # Z = Fremont # 1 = Oshawa, Ont., Can. # Vehicle Serial Number 100001 = 1st Unit Built THANKS EMMETT
