Hello there. I am new to this forum. But I recently got a 1966 custom camper and am having some trouble with the VIN number info. The VIN is C2546Z149331. Any help with that would be awesome. This is a truck that has been in my family since new and now I got it. I am super excited about it and can't wait to get it running again and driving. I will see if I can figure out how to get picture of it. Thanks for the help.
VIN Breakdown Welcome to the forum. We would love to see some photo's of your truck! Here is the breakdown of you VIN: C2546Z149331 "C" = Conventional (2WD) "25" = 3/4-Ton 127" Wheelbase "4" = Pickup "6" = 1966 Model Year "Z" = Fremont Assembly Plant "149331" = 49,331 Unit Built (Each year begins with 100,001)
Thank you very much for that break down. I have been looking all over to find that info. Obviously I had trouble. Again I am very thankful for that info. Hey by chance do you know how many custom camper's that made in that year? I will see what pictures that I can post.
I do not believe there are statistics for how many Custom Campers were made. Here are the stat's. for 3/4 ton 2wd trucks in 1966 Models Stepside 9,905 Fleetside 55,855 Stake 1,499
John`s right no stats, but the custom camper appeared in `65, telltale signs if the badges were`nt there were eightlug full floating rear axle, overload or helper springs, trans either were the sm465 four speed or the th`400 trans first year it was out, either the 292 six or high torque 283 or 327 in `66.
Thank you for the information. It's all becoming clear to me know. Sometimes I am just a little slow. But as soon as I can get done working and get home, I will get some pictures up of the truck. Really hoping to get it to driving shape with in a couple of weeks!!!
That's good information..... It means the '65 I just dismantled was a camper special. It had the helper springs (which I though was odd) and the rear dock bumper slid out to accommodate the camper.... Just from the bumper I thought it was but the spring info confirms it.....
