VIN stamping question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nevada51 · 01-26-2026, 07:38 PM

I just tried to register my 1964 C10 only to find that the number on the plate matches the numbers stamped on the chassis...mostly. The issue is the chassis stamping doesn't include "4C144" at the start as shown on the plate, ie the chassis stamping only includes the plant (H, Fremont) and the six digit vehicle number.

So my question is: is that normal?

To my knowledge there's only two spots for the VIN, the tag in the door area and the driver's side front chassis rail. Is there anywhere else that I might have missed?

Any help with this would be appreciated. Very frustrating! The truck is super original and unmolested FWIW.
