I'm not finding anything exactly to match yours. The C70 is obviously a C700. The fourth digit is the engine, "O" is for a Cummins NH-250, but the book says that's in 62/63 and your fifth digit "9" says its a 1959. The sixth digit is production plant but I find no "0" or "O" code. The last five digits are the unique number for your truck. Stu
#9
This VIN is garbled, some of the codes make no sense, please look closely at it again / 11 digit VIN:
The first 3 digits is the serial number: C70 = C700 Tilt Cab.
The 4th digit is a letter. This is the engine code, it's probably either a C (292 2V) or a D (292 4V).
The 5th digit is a number, denotes the year: 7 = 1957; 8 = 1958; 9 = 1959; 0 = 1960.
The 6th digit is a letter, decodes to the specific assembly plant that the truck was assembled at.
Last 5 digits are numbers, decode to the Numerical Sequence of Assembly for the specific year that the truck was assembled.
DATE: 23B = February 23 (1959?).
Only 1958/59/60 C Series came with dual head lamps. 1957 & 1961/86 C Series came with single head lamps.
Pic: Example of Rating Plate, on a C Series, it's riveted to the inside of the glove box door.
