Re: GMC vin decode
Edit : This is for Chevy
If it just the year you are looking for. The first digit in the VIN is the last digit of the year. 0=1960 1=1961 2=1962 3=1963 4=1964 5=1965 6=1966

Re: GMC vin decode
Thank you all for the help. I was hoping to find out what year it is so that I could possibly see about getting a title for it

Re: GMC vin decode
As stated above the only thing a GMC vin tells you is F for 1964-1966 as a year. But , 1964 GMC VIN tags were still spot welded . 1965 GMC VIN tags used round rivets. 1966 GMC VIN tags used Rosette rivets . You have a 1965 GMC . There's other clues to the year but much more Indepth, like engine casting dates and trans and axle dates . Safe to say its a 65 by your VIN picture.

Re: GMC vin decode
One more thing , GMCs can be titled differently as many of these GMC trucks were titled " The Year it Sold" instead of the year manufactured . Chevrolet did not do that. Evidence of this has been found on numerous trucks but still somewhat uncommon .

Re: GMC vin decode
You can tell the year by the production number, for the 2500 the first series 1964 started with P-F1001 and H-F1001*, the second series 1965 P-F6001 Z-F2001 and the third series 1966 P-F12001 Z-F4001.
*The Oakland plant (H) closed in late 1963 after the F model series went into production. They move to Fremont (Z). the production numbers did not start over. |
