1973 C20 crewcab questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Let's try this again.
I am looking at buying a '73 crewcab 3/4t that was converted to a dually. The vin plate had been removed for paint and body(?) I cannot see where the tag would mount. Can anyone post a pic of a crewcab of that era (even a suburban i guess might be the same?)that has the metal vin tag,and where. I want to make sure it's not a "custom built" '73 Thank You

It should be in the drivers door jam.

Thank You Thomas. That is what my '79 looks like also. I am starting to wonder if this is a "built" truck from others....not too sure if I want to deal with it.

my '73 crew cab had the vin tag below the door striker on the driver side rear door area.

was it steel or sticker? This one is a steel tag....

the early trucks had stamped plates in the door jam a crew cab plate would be riveted to the jam of the back door drivers side just below the striker.

So I take it that this is a crewcab in the pic? Thanks
