Everything I have found talks about completely different numbers then what I have.
I am thinking this is maybe because my truck was made in Canada.
The Vin plate says "General Motors of Canada Limited".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

4 - year, in this case 1954
1423 - 3/4 ton, 5800lbs. g.v.w., 125" wheelbase
---- - the remainder of the number is your trucks regular production number, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 53 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 53 | Thanks for the reply.
The number is 41433014XX, what does the code 1433 mean?
Thanks again for the help.

4 - year 1954
1433 chassis with cab, 8,800 lbs. g.v.w., 137" wheelbase, hope that helps | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Kennyjr, the book lists the g.v.w. for the maximum tire equipment, I had a quick look, and could find no reference to a 6900 lb. g.v.w. in my 54 maintenance manual. With all the maximum equipment your truck has a maximum g.v.w. capacity of 8800 lbs., hope that clarifies. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 53 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 53 | OK thanks again.
I will see if there is maybe something the Ministry can do to help me out.
