Default Re: 1960 Pick up VIN location

So in 1958 GMC decided to make all 58 and 59 year model trucks a single "S" series; all 58's have a shorter production number and all 59's have a longer one because 59 VIN's started in the middle of the run. Same with 60-61 N series trucks - one of the 1960's was #1 off the line and one of the 1961's was 100,000 + or wherever they ended the run. So yes - there is a definite correlation between 60-61's production # wise.

You guys have my curiosity up now and I'm going to have to ride 18 miles out to my farm and see if that alledged "1960" GMC spare parts truck has a VIN tag on the kick panel or door jamb....I'll take pics when I get there
