The vin is: T81521825
I am thinking its a shortbed frame from a 1978 GMC 2wd halfton? Can anyone verify and check out the rest of the numbers? Thanks!
The VIN stamped into the frame is a partial VIN. It was Division, year, plant, and sequence number. So yours is a 1978 GMC built at Oshawa. considering the sequence number about a mid model year build. That is about as close as you can get with a partial VIN. This is the same partial VIN that was stamped into the blocks and trans cases.
