A real head scratcher about vin tag numbers.

All of this raises one very important question: Is this the VIN Tag for the truck you are looking at or did this tag come from another vehicle? Take a very careful look at the title.

Looks like there is some misunderstanding.
Not at all sure where you are getting the 70 from.

C Conventional Cab 4x2
S I-6 engine
1 1/2 ton
3 Chassis-Cab (no bed)
7 1967
Z Fremont,CA assembly
sequence number

From the above the truck is data tagged as a 67.

The second truck (contract truck) is a 68 as stated by the O/P in post #1.
