Can anyone break down the VIN on these years?
Thanks for any help. I will need engine parts eventually. A barrel nut passed through the engine and it was parked afterwards.
Hey Tommy and everyone, I'm bringing this back up as I have a question about the hydramatic differences. This is a 60 or 61 GMC but the indicator looks much different overall. Is there a top piece that is broken off or removed? Every truck I have ever owned older than 1970 was a 4 speed clutch type so I have no knowledge of them besides what I read here.

When I took that pic a while back i didn't think to take a better pic of the indicator so I had to crop it out of a larger one.

Thanks---DAC
