That is a proper VIN plate for our era of truck.

I'm squinting hard at your picture of the VIN plate and picking up
the beginning of your VIN as CM2590C and the rest as PC2074

Let's start with the first 7 characters...

1st Character - Chassis Type
C = 2 Wheel Drive - Conventional Cab

2nd Character - Engine Type
M = V-6 Gas

3rd Character - GVW Range
2 = 3/4 Ton

4th&5th Characters - Wheelbase Length
59 = 127" Longbed

6th&7th Characters - Model Type (Body & Brake)
OC = Fenderside (aka Stepside)

And now, for the last 6 characters I can make out...

8th Character - Assembly Plant
P = Pontiac (Michigan)

9th Character - Year Built
C = 1967

10th-13th Character - Serial Number (Starts at 1001)
2074 = 1074th GMC truck to roll off Pontiac MI's assembly line in 1967 model year

I can't read the 14th and final character which is the GVW Class.

It will be either A, B, or C.
A = Under 6000
B = 6001-10,000
C = 10,001-14,000

=======

Based on the VIN tag, enjoy your 1967 GMC cab'd truck.
