I know that the letter "N" in it's spot on the VIN means 60-61, but how can you tell the difference the two year models? | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 20 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 20 | I'm sorry, to be more specific, on a GMC. I also forgot the word "between" after difference on the original post. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 | Interesting info.

The guy is selling this truck on the internet, and I was trying to go by just the pictures available. He has it listed as a 63, yet it is clearly a 60-61 3/4 ton. Chevrolet guys usually have it a little better than GMC guys. Just curious, is the Grey for 60 and Black for 61 the same on Chevrolet?
Thank you!
Joe | | | | | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 73 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 73 | here's another question. my 61 half ton GMC is at least now a very plain jane version. no chrome or extras. the heater control housing though having 4 slots only has the fan and defroster levers and the outside 2 appear to be blanked off. I can get by fine with that as I can install a valve in the heater hose to just shut the flow off during the summer once I get my new core in and get the heater back in. but there are 2 round holes in the dash one above the other about an inch in diameter between the heater control and the glove compartment. they appear to be factory made and nothing in them.does anyone know what they might be there for? I need to find a couple of snap in plugs to fill them I guess. ordered a new seat cover today and very anxious to get the seat back in so I can get it on the road.
