WEll, Latest Update... the engine casting date code deciphers to 29 April 1966, so it is fairly reasonable to conclude my Project is a 1966. I am having a hard paper vehicle registrations search conducted by an army buddy who joined the RCMP. It's going to take some time since he's doing this in his spare time, but he has access to archives that I can only access via FOIP (Freedom of Information Act).

So, I'm one step closer to finding out the original VIN, but at least I have a partial now... 6P91375600001A. Based upon this, if anyone has any Canadian GMC Production Numbers for 1966, that can help narrow down the sequential number, that would be a big help.

I've been inspecting the Van in the hopes of finding a partial VIN... but so far, no luck. Maybe it will be revealed when the body comes off the frame.
