I've been watching shortbed fleetside for sale for a few months and have seen quite a few with vin #'s C15. Isn't C15 the designation for longebds (127" wheelbase) and C14 the designation for shortbeds (115" wheelbase)? I spoke to one guy who was supposedly the second owner (knew the original owner very well) of a shortbed with a C15 vin # and he was very adamant that the truck/frame had never been modified. Aside from the paint, some body work, engine, and transmission he claimed the truck was all original.
Chassis Id. Your'e right on with your specs. 1960 to 1966 C 14 i/2 ton short bed 115" wheelbase C 15 1/2 ton long bed 127" wheelbase Per LMC truck parts catalog....Bob
