Greg Pate I just bought a 65 fleetside from out of state. For the life of me I cannot find a vehicle ID number anywhere on the vehicle. When I go to register it my state requires that they check to make sure the number on the title and the number on the truck match. Where is the ID location on this truck ? Is it also on the frame somewhere ? Thanks !
THIS IS FROM AND OLD GM MANUAL I FOUND ONLINE HOPE THAT THIS IS CORRECT, ITS THE ONLY INFO I COULD FIND, I REALLY NEVER LOOKED FOR MINE,(OUR STATE (PA) DOESNT REQUIRE # MATCHING, THEY JUST WANT $ FOR LEGAL FEES!!!) 1963 to 1964 VIN plate has been moved to the body hinge pillar and is spot-welded. It is below the glove compartment. On June 15, 1963, a new design that still kept the rounded corners was placed in production. The letters DD were added for Delivery Date and a blank space provided so the dealer to stamp the delivery date of the vehicle to the purchaser. Many of the plates do not contain a delivery date due to the dealer breaking the weld when a stamp was applied to the plate. 1965 to 1967 Another new design started in 1965. The plate had square corners and was riveted to the body hinge pillar brace below the glove compartment. The dealers broke many of the welds when they stamped the plates, hence the change in design to the use of rivets. Early 1965 rivets are circular and the later rivets are rosette shaped. There were still many dealers that did not stamp them with the delivery date.

On my 64 Chevy, it's rivited to the drivers' windshield pillar inside the door frame. My frame serial number is on the left frame rail just below the drivers' door. It may be covered with 40 years of road crud like mine was. I don't know if those locations changed in 65. It seems like a good one as the numbers can be checked in about 15 seconds on both the body and the frame. DV
