Hi Guys!
Here's a Canadian view.
From my decipher page it goes like this for the older models.
e.g. Vin #6954300440---The 6 is for 1946--95 indicates GMC 2 ton--43 means cab and chassis--00440 indicates vehicle number.
I don't recall that GM had a Halifax plant although there was one in Regina along with the main plant in Oshawa. Although VIN's are different nowadays I think in /52 they were still as I described.
It's possible that vehicles built for export were given different style ID's so you could write to GM Canada Vintage Vehicle dept.--1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7.
Good luck with the search.
George
