Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I see this question come up alot, so I thought I would do a post with pics on where to find your 60-66 chev/gmc vehicle identification number.

First up is the 60 t0 63 chev and gmc.
The vin is located on the LH drivers door pillar.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Next up is the 64-6
The vin is located on the LH driver door roof rail.
*** 64 gmc vins are located on the "b" pillar in the lh driver door frame***

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

On all 7 years you can also find the vin number on the left hand frame rail in front of the A arm.
There is also one stamped on the top of the LH frame rail under the cab,
these shots are from my 65 1/2 ton long box.
Notice how they only stamp the year, assembly plant, and the sequential serial # on the frame rail.
the under cab shot is from a 66 frame I have, I have hi-lited where the vin is stamped, it is about 12 inches in front of the left hand rear cab mount on top of the frame rail

***** quoted from lil red 66!*****
"The GMC trucks of the same years, did not have the VIN or any portion of the VIN stamped on the frame, in any place."

Here is a decoder for Canadian 60-66 chev and gmc trucks:

This did not copy and paste like I wanted.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

According to the 6066gmcguy the panel and suburban vins are located on the Lh drivers door pillar, roof pillar, rear driver door pillar, or on the footwell by the GVW tag.
I have seen all 3 of the door pillar vin placements, but did not take pics.
If you have some pics to add please do.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

thanks for the info, i was gonna ask this.

Thanks for your tireless contribution to this subject. Perhaps this will become a sticky. In any case, you have covered the subject very well and I appreciate your efforts.

PS...you must have had a house full of company over the holidays and decided to "hole-up" on the computer to pass the time. Thanks again for your contribution.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Great Job!

Maybe one of the mods should sticky this.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Very nice write up !!!

I waved my wand, and have made it STICK !!! ;):metal:

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Excellent post! Nice work, jon.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Just to point out that GM can be inconsistent, on the '64 Chevy cab I recently asked this question about I found it on the LH rear door pillar, not above the door.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I am going to check out some 64's at the wrecking yard, I changed the gmc pic to note that 64 gmc is on the rear driver door pillar, and I think that chevy will turn out the same way for 64. I will update as soon as I get a pic.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I need to find my VIN, bein that I reframed.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I looked at a 64 Chevy I'm swaping some stuff for, yesterday. It was on the B pillar. I thought it was missing at first.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Here are two of my '64 Chevy C10 cabs and both have the VIN on the underside of the driver side door jamb, roughly in the center of the door opening.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

Everyone who contributed to this thread, thanks.

I've already sent a few folks to this thread who emailed me asking about this very thing.

Good job everyone.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

First Chevy truck, Having trouble with my VIN 3C254S118673..... can someone help me figure this out??

Thanks,

Redline

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

on post # 4 of this thread there is a link to a vin decoder...
yours codes out to a 63 pickup 3/4 ton stlouis,mo. the sequintial # is 118673

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I saw that and did that, but I was trying to code it out with your post 5, and it wasn't making since to me.... Since this truck is dually one done I'm trying to find the VIN on the chassy to see what year it is also... Thanks for your help, I'll keep searching on the frame

Thanks,

Redline

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

ok.. the post # 5 is for canadian trucks only.
if your frame is a 60-66 there should be the vin by the left front A arm, and under the cab on the lh side...
if the frame is a later one, there still should be a vin under the cab on the drivers side... that was pretty much a standard for gm frames, and I have seen quite a few different frames with a vin there.

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

I'm glad I joined this forum!! Everybody has been a big help so far just wanted to say thanks....

So I found a number on the driver side frame.... still having trouble figuring it out.... So here it is for some folk a whole lot smarter than me 3829595 9 28 62

Thanks again,

Redline

Re: Where is my 60-66 Chevy or GMC vin number?
 

here is what comes up with the decoder... which just confuses it even more:lol:
VIN 3829595 9 28 62
Model Year 1963
Chassis (unknown code)
Body Style Panel
Series (unknown code)
Assembly Plant Norwood, OH
Sequential Number 5 9 28 62

Is there any sign of the body being off the frame?
maybe this frame was on a different vehicle... the cab vin, and the frame vin should match....
