This guy e-mailed me & I told him to come here for some help, after I told him what I think I know, which was:

1L733F117914

1 = year - 1961
L = Low Cab Forward
7 = 70 series
3 = 145 wheelbase
3 = Cab & chassis
F = gvw rating
117914 = serial number

That makes this a 1961 Chevrolet L70 Spartan Low Cab Forward Truck.

So If I'm right or wrong can some one let us know. Thanks.

Good work, Jolly -- and thanks for helping him in the other thread, too!

What a cool truck, 64Godzilla! Be sure to send Peggy some pictures and a writeup for the Gallery. And be sure to use the links at the top of the page to see all the other info we have in this site -- like Links to parts vendors and stuff like that.

And to echo Jolly ... welcome to the Stovebolt Page!
Regards,

OK I may have been wrong, but not by much. I found The Decoder Page at Burgie's website. The letter "F" is for Assembly plant, F = Flint Mi.

I may have the running boards. I'll have to check my parts truck. I haven't looked at it for a while. I moved it out in the country.
