can anyone tell me the location of the vehicle identification number on the frame of a 1967 GMC?(I'm assuming chevy may also be the same)

Re: VIN # locations
stamped of the top of the DS frame rail near the steering gearbox is one for sure and I thin they are stamped again in both rails under the cab, not totally sure on that one though

Re: VIN # locations
67 GMC's had a small tag on the drivers rear jam, about 1.5 ft up from the rocker.

Re: VIN # locations
67 was known to not have any vin numbers on frame.

Re: VIN # locations
On my 67 Chevy K20 it's on the outboard side of the frame about 12in behind the steering gearbox. (green circle) I'll look at my 67 GMC's tomorrow and repost.

Re: VIN # locations
Anybody have any pics of the door jamb vin tags. Were they just stamped, or were the numbers/letters highlighted with any paint? Mine were completely painted over in a terrible shade of a metallic blue. I am stripping the paint now, but do they need some kind of repaint.
Thanks Jason |

Re: VIN # locations
I want to say that the tags were painted and stamped. I'm not at home right now to look at mine but I'll do that and let you know.

Re: VIN # locations
The original ones where chrome metal, at least the 67-69? ones I have seen. the 70-72, the big vin plates I think are stainless or aluminum. They use some sort of ink for info and lettering except the vin, which is just stamped on it. Sorry I forget which year went from the small vin plate to the big plate.

Re: VIN # locations
My 67 GMC had the small vin plate on the B pillar on the drivers side and no frame numbers on the frame.

I guess it depends on the year as to if it has colored writing though. My 72 had the vin and a couple of other things embossed with the rest all in blue writing. My 70 has no color with everything on the plate embossed Last edited by Olden Days; 12-21-2006 at 12:17 PM. |
