I got my restoration pack from chevy today. I still can't decypher the Serial # 4C653 B 107177. The 653 don't match? Chevy says it should have 13 numbers
I copied it right off the door jamb and it looks like new, so no problem reading it.
What am I doing wrong?
4=1964
C=Conventional
B=Baltimore
107177= 7,177th built
so,what is the 653?

Hi Don

Check out my VIN Decoder Page for a breakdown of the VIN.

6 = 2-ton
5 = ??
3 = Cab & Chassis

To this day I still haven't a clue what the second numeral behind the Series Designator means??

Hope this helps??

I'll repeat others and add a little:

4 = 1964
C = Conventional with gas engine
6 = 2 ton rating
5 = 175" wheel base
3 = Cab Cahssis
B = Baltimore
107177 = unit number starting with 100001 (7,177th unit built at Plant "B")
