Thanks, I'll go back next week and look into it further. I have not been around this type of truck for years. I never thought to look into the glove box. The passenger door is welded shut and the driver's door is damaged really bad. When did the 17 digit vin come into play? I owned a 67 1/2 ton back in the late 70's. It had a 307 v8, three on the tree, and 4.11 rear end. I'm hoping this 3/4 ton has the Eaton rear end with the 4.11 gearing.
Most who have studied it a bit or experineced it say that 1968 was the first year of somewhat uniform "Vin numbers" If you were to look at the vin numbers of early 60's GM, Ford and Mopar, IH and AMC vehicles there was no continuity between one and the other. That changed in 68 and has changed at least twice since. Until around 1954 most vehcles just had serial numbers used as vin numbers and as we with older rigs all know a number of states used engine serial numbers while others used the body serial numbers. The spid as onthers is your go to on this though.
