K20 Crew cab maybe?

[bake74]

hey guys, just had to check my VIN, and for what it's worth:
C= chevy
K= 4x4
L= 350 4bl
2= 3/4 ton
4= pick-up
6= 1976
Z= fremont plant


just saying....

  http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php/topic,22864.15.html       This really needs to go away, in this thread Capt. explains that GM produced 2wd versions that they converted into 4wd 3/4 ton crew cabs for some reason.  Who knows why, maybe yellowk20 is right, they made them for Alaska pipe line, Capt. says to go with rpo on truck, not just with vin #.

"this really needs to go away" ? why? This forum is for open discussion. I think it's great that we have an open topic. The truth is we don't know for 100% what the most accurate answer is. In all reality capt. most likely has hit the nail right on the head. We may never figure out all of the "y"s to this question, but do we really have to stop talking about it?

I think he meant go away from Blazin's thread about him getting another square and into a new topic about K20 crews.

      That is what I meant, it's not cool (at least in my book) to high jack someone else's thread, even if it is along the same topic, I think it should have it's own thread like thirsty said.

That was a pain, but it's split now.  If I missed something, let me know.

     Thanks Capt.

and like I stated, the first year for 1 ton 4x4's was 1977 and first year for 4x4 crews was the same year.

     We had to split this topic off another one so we wouldn't high jack someone's else's thread.  We are talking about crew cab 4x4 and when they went into actual production.  Sorry for the confusion, but nice truck.  Are you planning on restoring it ?  looks like it would make a nice driver.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but since you seem to know a lot about the VIN numbers here, what does this mean? CCL16AF103229, from 1980.

[bake74]

     CCL16AF103229    C=CHEVY,  C=2WD,  L=350V8,   1=1/2 TON,  6=BLANK NUMBER,  A=1980,  F=FLINT(ASSY PLANT),  103229=SEQUENTIAL SERIAL #

Thank you! Later I found a homepage with complete VIN numbers for all different years, etc, and it says that the 6 means it's a Suburban or "Sport Van"!

      Good to know, I didn't find that so now I know.
