Could Sumone Decode This? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Canadian694x4** · 02-17-2003, 01:26 PM

Here's my Vin# KE149181558, it's a Canadian Truck at least from the (1) 6th digit?

Thanks

Brian

1=GVW Range =1/2 ton

see that's what I'm talking about! Which one is right!?

blazunfool · 02-17-2003, 02:04 PM

WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHICH ON IS RIGHT?

**Canadian694x4** · 02-17-2003, 02:17 PM

well for one thing I have Canadian production #'s that say just over 74,000 1969 trucks where made that year...plus one cart states a rating (3900) one just says half...yet on my door pillar it says 5900? I'm knew...so help me to understand...thanks....

Hutch · 02-17-2003, 02:45 PM

It is kinda of a ball-park figure

GVWR Range 3600-5600

Maybe the production numbers are off because the 74,000 was for two-wheel drive add in the four wheel drive est another 10,000
That would be closer to your figure.
Maybe yours was a very late model.
Check the date codes on the engine block and heads.

Just like already stated above, here is my $.02 worth.

My '69 Dealer Truck Data Book says:
K = 106" conventional Cab
E = V8 Gasoline
1 = 3600-5600 lb GVW (check your Service Parts Identification Plate on the glove box door for specific option).
4 = Pickup
9 = Model Year (1969)
1 = Oshawa

Note: you left off a digit in your original post. You stated: KE149181558. Check to see if it should be: KE1491181558. You should have a total of 12 numbers/letters in your VIN.

181558 = (beginning with 100,001) the 81,558th unit built at Oshawa.

Still confused?

Teh vin sequential number covers all trucks made if I am not mistaken...otherwise they would be counting them from each plant and that would make things a bit confusing.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-21-2003, 02:30 PM

...even on my registration for the truck the vin number is 11 digits? what does this mean??!!

Any help on this would be great

Thanks
