Hope this helps | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 241 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 241 | I will also add that if you want the full (but limited) production documents you can order them for about $40 for GM Canada at www.vintagevehicleservices.com/index.htmlYou will receive the paint and trim information , body number, where and when it was built,engine ID number etc. You will also receive the technical specification documents for the vehicle. It will likely be the USA version as they Canadian plant used the same documents to build. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 | thanx for the replies. Helps me out. the 5th # is a 3 does this mean it was a cab and chassis ? it appears to have a factory deck on it with the sculptured side ,front ,and back panel.s. it also has the right stakes for all the way around the deck.

8 year, in your case 1948, but must confirm by body style
14 is the series code for a 3/4ton or one ton Chevrolet
23 is the model code, it confirms it as a 3/4 ton 125 1/4" wheelbase chassis with cab.
the remainder is the vehicle number, hope that helps. | | |
