Odd numbers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Numbers on an eBay truck = CCE142S193329. I decoded some of this, but not all. Here are a couple starter questions:

C = 4x2 -- but it's listed as a 4x4 (Shouldn't that be a K?)
What's the second C for?

for starters those are the wrong rivots for the vin plate. either it was removed and transferd or removed for paint.

if you read all the discription its is a 4x4, its on a 97 tahoe chassis. you can see the new style front ifs in a couple of the pics.

Well, that explains it. I need to read the whole thing! I wonder if that's why people are willing to pay so much for it?

That truck is a mutt. 72 vin, 67-71 door panels and 69 grill stand out right away...

Yes 1972 VIN#. The second letter should be a K for four wheel drive.

in 72 they added an additional letter at the beginning of the vin.
C for chevy, and T for GMC

for example
CCS = Chevy 2x4 with I6
TKE = GMC 4x4 with V-8

It states the truck was converted.Evidently to 4X4 with Tahoe parts.It looks nicely done but the bid is $15,100.00 and reserve hasn't been met.I wonder if the guitars would bring enough to pay for the truck?I was never a big fan of the E Street Band.

Looks good, but for a truck that appraised for $37,000 you think they could have put some nicer tail lights and brackets on it. Looks like a 1st semester high school metal shop job on the brackets and I've bought those same tail lights at Wal-Mart for a boat trailer

My guess is the cab with the vin plate came from a 2wd truck and the frame from a 4x4 and the two were mated together.
