It sure doesn't sound like a GMC number though. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Chrislon, in Canada in those years GMC series numbers would start with a 9, for example 9500. Chevrolet series numbers would start with a 1 for example 1500, the way I understand the situation a lot of the trucks bound for Australia were assembled in Canada, and have serial numbers similar to Canadian trucks, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 | Thank you Guys you've pretty well confirmed what I thought and most of the books I've got only list GMC's as 9 series and Chevs 1 series both in America and Canada Cheers for now from Aus | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,083 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,083 | Not sure if this will help much, but when getting ready to re-do the GM Restoration Tech Tip, I noticed this link to Canadian trucks. If there isn't something specific on that page, it may still lead you to more info, directly from GM. BTW, hope to get that updated this week. Have a contact at GM for details. Peg
