Thanks to both of you. I ran the plate on the door through the vin buster, and it came back as a 1959 6500 2 ton with a 174.5 inch wheel base made in Kansas City. The question now is if my Great Grandfather put a 69 cab and doghouse on a 58 frame. I don't suppose the frames and or motors have separate identifier stamps or plates? It will be interesting to see what the title says if we can dig it up.

Thanks again.

As Bill stated above, you will need to look at the VIN tag on the truck itself to figure out the actual year.

1959 Chevy Viking. Belonged to my Great Grandfather
