Re: VIN decode true 72 2WD??

Thanks, I did a little VIN investigation on eBay before posting this and found that the 4 X 4 VIN's posted started with a 'K', but this vin was 'CK' so I was unsure.

Thank you to everyone who posted.

hotrodhomi, is yours an original 2WD or a conversion?

For 1972 that added a letter to indicate if it was a Chevy or GMC, thus the C at the begining.
