On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is it?
1970 k20. 292, has these numbers under the axle weight numbers as some sort of vehicle ID number,
x3240z134334 I cant find anything in my searches so far, can anyone point m in the right direction? I though this was the vin but it doesn't fit what a vin "should" be from all my reading |

all the vin decoders I've found, and posts on this forum don't help me decode at all.

Re: On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is
Yoder, take a look at the first two Digits again. See if the X is really a K (for 4WD) and the 3 should be a S (for 6cyl). The rest decodes like Keith posted.

Re: On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is
they are most definitely and "X" and a "3" for the first two digits.
thanks for the other information though! |

Re: On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is
OK, Well you got a bit of a mystery there. There is no decode for a X in the Chassis Type slot, or for a 3 in the Engine Type slot. So I don't know what to tell you about that. Do you have a SPID(glovebox option sheet)? Is the VIN the same on it? How about a Frame VIN? Protect o plate? Buildsheet? Do the Rosehead rivets on the VIN plate look original? If you can get a pic, I'd like to see the stamping font, to see if it matches known VIN plates from 1970 Fremont.
Keith, Is there any way that it could have left the factory with that discrepancy on it? Here is a 1970 vin plate, from Fremont, that was 512 units after yours. How does yours look next to this one? Last edited by bruceman1968; 08-12-2014 at 09:45 PM. |

I have to figure out how to post pictures but it matches the plate you posted to my eye. I'll work on getting pictures up

Thanks Yoder, What about the other places the VIN appears. SPID is the best place to check it. Does your truck still have a SPID?

Re: On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is
But does your truck have the sticker on the inside of the glovebox door? Does the VIN match the VIN on that sticker? What is the VIN on your title and/or registration?

Looks like a K (at least on my phone) but the 3 is sure weird

Re: On the shiny plate inside the driver door, 12 digit number below weights, what is
Good catch on the first 3 being a different font. That's weird. I assume these were set up in a die of some sort, hopefully not by hand, but you never know.
You rarely see it mentioned, but the C and E are not the only choices, right? You could get P for forward control, G for van, and so on. But that wouldn't explain the in the engine code slot. I think we need to know what the SPID is before we go too far off the ledge.
