Vin Question

[jpmanyhearts]

I have a question about a vin
1968-69 GMC truck

K 4 wheel drive
E 8 cyl.
1 1/2 ton
O
D Wide side
Z I have no idea Bruceman1968 has on his page that its a special designation but all i can find is " if theres no special designation" dash is there if not used well mine is a Z what does that mean ? Thank you guys in advance

[B. W.]

The fourth & fifth digits should both be numbers. Fleetside designation would be listed in the model number, not the VIN.

the 6th digit is the mfg plant (Z = Freemont)

jpmanyhearts, if you have a 68 or 69 you should have a B or C after the Z.
The Z is for Freemont assembly plant and A is 1969 or B is 1968. You might not have a dash or space in yours.

Sleeper, CS157OD is a model number or the first half of a 1967 GMC Vin.
C = 2wd
S = I-6
1 = 1/2 ton
57 = 115' WB shortbed
OD = wideside bed (Fleetside)
EDIT Just noticed you said your SPID stated panoramic. So that means you have a 1967 GMC. CS157OD is both your model number and the first half of your VIN.

Thanks so it is a GMC. That would explain the leaf rear.

Bought this 4x4 from a neighbor/friend with the intention of restoring it or making a rat rod out of it. He had rolled it a long time ago, and ended up putting a Chevy body on the GMC frame.

KE1ODZ is GMC. Chevrolet did NOT use OD as a code for the Bed style. GMC used it from 1967 to 1969 (and before 67). But KE1ODZ is not the whole VIN. Your missing the year and the serial number. Here is a correct 68-69 GMC vin decoder so you can see what's missing.

[jpmanyhearts]

[jpmanyhearts]

K- 4 Wheel Drive

E- 8 Cyl.

1-1/2 Ton

0D Wide Side

Z-???????

A- Atlanta

Vin#-14615

im i reading that wrong ??

[bruceman1968]

Yes look again,
Z = Fremont assembly
A = 1969

Edit You should have a space/dash between the O and the Z. If not no problem just disregard the space/dash. The Z is your assembly plant code.
