If you could show the last of that VIN , looks like theres an 8 in the last part. Now compare the font of that 8 with other tags from Fremont , if its flat at the top I would definitely say its an original tag because it would be very rare for any stamp to duplicate that font.

It is an early production, that was the one thing I was debating. But wouldn’t they have stamped it with a 4 instead of a 1? I read (on here) how GMC was pushing 65s as 66s so they could sell before the 67-72 run came out. Could this be one of those possibilities? I am fairly sure there will be no true answer coming out of this just a lot of possibilities. I still know the PO and I know he had it for a number of years. Because of the color and the fact he likes to buy surplus style auction rigs, I believe it might have been a state rig or someone who had a Large fleet.


Great looking Suburban by the way! That is a dream of mine!
