The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks frame vin location?

this is related to previous post by me that got moved so hopefully i'm in the right place now.
with some help i've figured out the door vin location and how to find model year and "k" for 4x4. is there also a vin number on the frame to correlate with the door vin? almost forgot, it's a 60-66 gmc. pbly a 3/4 ton.

thanks

you might find better answers over at Jollys GMC site, they did things a bit different than Chev

Bill

i'll check it out.

thanks bill.

scott.

you won't find a frame vin # in those years on a gmc

Ron - by the 60s even Chevys had frame numbers .... from here: "These numbers can also be found stamped on the Top of the left frame rail in two places, one in the engine bay and the other under the cab."

My 66 gmc does not have a vin on the frame, top or side, the only place it shows up is over the drivers door frame......Kieth

none of these numbers come close to matching a vin # the do show WB and other things.

thanks everyone for the information. not sure whether i'll make an offer on the truck i mentioned but the information will be useful regardless.

and smugmug thanks for the pictures, very helpfull. i guess i don't have to worry so much about frame swaps etc since there is no way to track it as long as the frame is the proper application for the year cab. to be honest i am used to fords (have a 63 f250 4x4 stepside) and they have both frame and door matching vin so people like me are a little anal about the numbers matching up. i like any brand of old american made truck though so - gotta get a chevy or gmc. god forbid i might even snag a dodge sooner or later.

thanks
again.

chevrolets have them but GMC's don't and I did say GMC. don't know why but that is the way it was or is
ron

perhaps that is a chev frame under that truck. I notice that it has rear coil suspension, not common with GMC but was optional. had to be ordered that way
ron

even odder Ran, that a Chevy frame wouldn't have the number stamped on it, or would have those other numbers

Kieth might do better to contact someone at the 60-66GMC club

Bill

chev have the nbrs there. that looks like a frame part#n the side of the frame
There is a consensus on the gmc board that there is no ser # stamped on the frames
