VIN Help
Is this a legit VIN? I looked at the decoder on here but it doesn't completely make sense to me.
KE149 J 831993 The seller is claiming it to be a 1969 K20. Thanks for any help. Last edited by Adam Moyers; 02-22-2021 at 09:29 PM. |

Re: VIN Help
VIN is for a 69 K10 built in Janesville, WI. Does the truck have 6 lug or 8 lug wheels? If 8, it's either had axle swaps or a K10 cab swapped onto a K20 chassis.

Re: VIN Help
that's a very customized truck. "new custom made harness" would be enough to scare me away

Re: VIN Help
Look for a partial VIN on the frame above the steering gear. It will be just 9J831993.
No KE24.

Not sure why you would be that afraid of a custom made harness without actually seeing it. I have seen some awesome custom made harnesses in my day. Well, compared to what I build any way.... ![]() I wouldn't pass judgement on any part of that truck, as far as the build, without looking at it. Yes, it may have some concerns as far as what has been changed on it but by the list it looks like he has been pretty honest on that. I would definitely be asking some questions but it looks like a nice truck. LockDoc

Re: VIN Help
I like it. 40’s are way up there though, check the frame around the steering box for cracks. Big tires put lots of stress on that area of the frame. Remember the only difference between the Longbed K10 and K20 year for year is the springs and axles. They share the same frame. If the frame and cab share the same partial vin than you know it’s had axles swapped, also in a 69 pickup you would have still gotten the t221 rockwell transfer case. So not only has the transmission been swapped(no th400 4x4’s 67-72) but the transfer case as well. Really not a major deal unless your after an original truck.
