Re: Is the door jamb pillar vent incorrect in my '70 K10?

Some of the guys say the vent looks off center. I don't know. I have nothing else to compare it to. As I mentioned the VIN ID# is good and matches what's stamped into the frame.

I'm not sure how I would know if it was a late model 1970 or not. Based on the VIN it looks like it might be number 6,473 built during that year. There were only 2,554 K10 SWB trucks built in 1970. Who knows though where it falls in the time frame of total production?
