Is your truck a Chevy or a GMC? And welcome to the forum!

to my knowledge it is a chevy as i dont have a title. i got in pieces

The first digit being a number and the last letter being an “A” seems to indicate this is a Canadian VIN. If this is true, this is how the number would break out:

5 = 1965
C = Conventional Cab
1504 = ½ ton Long Bed 127” wheelbase stepside
6 = 6 cylinder engine
19447 = last 5 digits of VIN
A = GVW rating of 6,000 & less

Here’s a full thread on how to decipher all the different types:

If it were a GMC this link would help decode:

the 3829593 3829594 # are more than likely the part # for each frame rail
Canadian GMC Vin nbrs are different than US as they use the nbr 9 after the first letter and before the model designation nbrs- denotes canadian model. and there is no letter to designate what US city it was made in
