VIN numbers as we know them were not used until about 1978 or so...
Prior to that, the serial # and sometimes, the engine number were used for the title.
For my 46, my state added zeros or the letter O on the front end of the serial number to get the correct number of characters for a modern day VIN. The number plate on the truck remains unchanged. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | there's been much animated discussion of VIN's here - these trucks did have vin's, just not the type currently in use - engine numbers weren't used anywhere past about 54 - your CDN title should have a box that's labeled "VIN/Serial#" and to the MV folks, they terms are interchangeable for things older than 80 or so
the CDN vin conventions were different than the US ones, and GMC is different than Chev, and you'll not find any site that has any real info about them, especially GMC - your # 3c91534604719a is your vin - not sure about the 60's breakdowns, but the 3c should be the year [63?], the 9153 prolly indicates the model/weight, 4 the style [pu?] and the rest may show engine/trans and is the production sequence#, which is the real serial#

3-model year 1963
C-Conventional cab
9- G.M.C.
15-series
34-model
04719-sequential vehicle number
A-6000lb. or less G.V.W.
hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | Glad you found it,sometimes they can be very hard to see.
