Re: Vin # ?
Uncle,
I decoded this at americanclassic.com for you. VIN CS10C1A15616 Model Year 196C Chassis 2 Wheel Drive Body Style (unknown code) GVWR Range 3600-5600 Cab-To-Axle Dimension Engine 6-Cylinder Assembly Plant Flint, MI Sequential Number A15616 I remember someone telling me that that their 70 GMC started with CS1, so it may very well be a GMC. Curt

Re: Vin # ?
GMC's are different than Chevy's here is the info I have.
For 67-69 GMC Example: C S 1 0C 1 A 15616 Chassis Designation (1st digit) C = 2Wheel Drive K = 4x4 P = Forward Control Engine Designation (2nd digit) E = V-8 Gas S = Six Cylinder Gas M= V-6 Gas T= In-Line 3 Diesel GVW Range (3rd Digit) 1 = 1/2 Ton 3600-5600# 2 = 3/4 Ton 5500-8100# 3 = 1 Ton 6700-10,000# Body (4th&5th Digit) OC= Fender Side OD= Wide Side OF= Stake Side OG= Panel OH= Panel - Square Front (Steel) OK= Sub-Panel (Rear Doors) OL= Sub- (Tailgate) OM= Cowl & Chassis OP= Chassis Only OS= Panel-Square Front (Alum.) OV= Cab & Chassis OW= Handi-Bus (Custom) OX= Handi-Bus (Deluxe) Assembly Plant (6th digit) P= Pontiac F=Flint Z=Fremont 1 = Oshawa Model Year (7th Digit) C= 1967 B= 1968 A= 1969 Serial # Final 4-5 Digits I would say you have a 69 GMC For 1970 & 71 this is the decoder

Re: Vin # ?
It's a 6 lug truck and does not look like it's been changed, so I think it may be a 70. When I bought it the seller put 69, but I didn't see a 9 in the vin anywhere. I'm sure it's a GMC, I just needed to know the year. Thanks Tim.

Re: Vin # ?
Sorry I had to edit my bad typing. It is a 69 by your serial...GMC used letters to ID the years.

Re: Vin # ?
We'll heres a better quality version than that old one I posted.
The trouble with GMC vins is there was more than one way they did the 67-69 ones..so it would be hard to make a decoder....some have dimension codes of the cab to axle in the vins which break down to a length.... unto which they decode differently between GMC truck and Chevy trucks, as some Chev vins do it like GMC vins in the 67-69 era. Then there are some Canadian built GMC vins that have a 9 after the first character to denote truck built in Canada. Then there are extra GVW codes in some vins also....those took me a bit to figure out what they were all about. Now look at the number of the starting sequence of the 70-71 GMC vins ...while most figure sequence numbers all started at 10001 for example...the all didnt. Simplier for me to just to decode them as need be. I still get one once in a while I figure was just done wrong....no rhyme or reason why there done that way.
