Vin Number 3 (Cab and Chassis)
 

Went to look at an interesting truck today. The digit that usually has a 4 for pickup has 3 (designating cab and chassis). Does this mean this was sold as a truck to become a flatbed or utility body or something. It’s currently a short fleet. Chassis is not cut. It’s a well optioned truck, has Air and Tach as well as Cheyanne package. Interesting truck. Just wondering exactly what the “cab and chassis” designation meant. Thanks.

Cab and chassis would look like this

That’s kinda what I figured, just curious if anyone knew what the purpose of them was. I assume to go out and be made into work trucks??

Yes. Or have a flatbed installed (farmer), or if they were long bed frame or extended frame, could be made into a camper

My guess is the body is off a cab and chassis truck and put on a short wheel base chassis. If you don't care if the chassis numbers matches the cab its no big deal.
