Hello everyone
I have a 1950 GMC 1/2 ton. When I try to order parts from car quest or Napa they ask what series it is (for example FC101,102). I cannot Find a reference list anywhere where I can compare the VIN to a series. From the VIN I believe it is a 1300 or 9300 series truck. Wheelbase is 116”
Thank you

You have a Canadian GMC Do you have metal plate on the door opening (between driver's-side hinge)? What is your engine serial number (stamped/pressed into the block on the ledge to the rear of the distributor)? You might want to also post your question on oldsGMC.trucks.com discussion board [ oldgmctrucks.infopop.cc]?

The Canadian light duty trucks had Chevy engines. The series would be 9300. 1300 were Chevy half ton trucks.

Could try telling them it's a chevy 3100. Seems like they're easier to find in napas database than the Canadian GMC's. Seems to work for me for anything other than engine parts.

You would have. 9300 if it was a half ton, 1300 is Chevy .I have a 54 gmc 9300 when I look up parts I look up using Chevy 1/2 ton .you truck came with a 216 most likely unless it was changed .if you need a shop Manuel there is a 54 gmc Manuel on kijjiji London for 20 bucks it is a Canadian version it would be different in some ways but if you truck has a newer 235 it would have it covered as well as the gmc engines in he bigger trucks

Casting numbers on the engine are usually the easiest way to see what engine you have rather than the serial number ,at least on a Canadian truck

1950 Canadian GMC Chevrolet trucks are way down on this page. 1915 - 1972 [ hotrod.gregwapling.com] It is a very long web page.

Here is a copy of the serial number explanation from the manual. I have the same page in my manual for 1948 to 52. old GMC Trucks [ oldgmctrucks.com]. Your truck would be all Chev mechanically. Even the white on brown instruments are in Chev colours. Most cartalogs have listings using the US series numbers so I believe yours would be a 3100 in the catalog. I am curious which motor you have. I have the Canadian 216 with the short side cover.
