| | | Is this really a 74? | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 39 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 39 | Saw this add on craigslist. Some things don't look right but I could be wrong. One, what year did that bumped out body line start? I have a '71 and a '75 and neither has it. Two, Isn't that a later dash and dog house? and three the vin sticker looks to nice to be original. Any experts out there think this might be re-vinned? I bought a van from outside of the state and had to get the vin verified by the state police because the dmv wouldn't go by just the sticker. The state police said they verified it with a second vin number stamped on the frame. Anyone know where this second vin is located? https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/1974-chevy-g10-shorty-van/6660253870.html | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | The license tag should be in the rear door as well....... It appears to be a later body that's been " old skooled". Good looking job, I like it. | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 39 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 39 | It looks nice I agree but you can't just put on a 74 grill and sticker and register or sell it as a 74. That's pre smog here in CA and I'm sure it's illegal. If you get caught I would think they would make you go by the vin stamped on the frame that's why I asked if anyone knows where that is. If it's say an '84 instead it would be worth a lot less that a 74. | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 Uncle Rust N Dents | Uncle Rust N Dents Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 | That VIN number is for a 1974 G20 (3/4 ton) with a 350 V8. As Catfish said, it's a later model van that's been modified. I wonder what the title says? | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | Quote from the ad: "It's a 1980 G10 Chevy Shorty Van with 74' front end"

Besides if it's a shorty it can't have a big tank. | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 Uncle Rust N Dents | Uncle Rust N Dents Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 4,805 Likes: 123 | Quote from the ad: "It's a 1980 G10 Chevy Shorty Van with 74' front end"
Yeah, he fixed the ad. VIN number's still wonky though. | | | Re: Is this really a 74? | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 Old Timer | Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 |
