Apache VIN Decoder
I have a 58 Apache....or so the guy who i bought it from says, there are some things about it that make me think its a 59
I tried searching for a VIN decoder online for it with no luck The truck was built in Canada but all the decoders i found were for US built trucks |

Re: Apache VIN Decoder
The serial number should be something like this....
3A59Sxxxxxx 3A designates the wheelbase and 1/2 ton etc.... 59 designates the year S designates manufacturing facility in this example S= St. Louis xxxxxx production sequence number This is normally on the drivers door hing jamb on a stainless steel plate brazed to the jamb (at least that is how it is on mine truck). Hope this helps.... |

Re: Apache VIN Decoder
if it is canadian built I think they go back that far you can go thru the GM vintage site and for a price get a print out history from them.
This is for 1963 and newer info http://vintagevehicleservices.com/fo...tion_36.75.pdf More info at this site for gm vintage www.vintagevehicleservices.com
