I purchased a 1968 Chevy 4x4 and I don't know if it is a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton
or a "C" or "K".
It has been painted over many times and I can't find a model #. The Vin #
starts with "KE149Z......"
Can someone help?

I believe the "C" denotes 2-wheel drive, and "K" means 4-wheel drive.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

You nailed it.

As for 1/2 or 3/4 ton, you might be able to tell by the rear axle it
has and/or how many lug nuts hold on the wheels. Sadly, I'm no expert
on old Chevys so I don't know what would be what.

That truck is a 4x4 1/2 ton by what I see of that vin. If you can print the
whole vin I might be able to see more. Should be an 8 somewhere tellin you
that it is 68 from what I see it might be 69. Scott

Your correct Scott there is an 8 after the "Z"

The Vin is KE149Z847508 ....SO i GUESS IT IS A 1/2 TON.

Dad used to own a 68 Chevy 1/2, as I recall it had 6 lugs and coil springs
in the rear.

if it is a 4x4 it is a k model. 4x2 is a c model. 1/2 ton will have 6 lug
nuts, 3/4- 1 ton will have 8 lug nuts

on the older trucks C-10 C-20 C-30 were 1/2 half ton, 3/4 ton and 1
ton vehicles.

newer trucks generall go by C1500, C2500 and C3500 to mean the same
thing.

C= 2 wheel drive

K = 4 wheel drive

I'm not surw what year the C designation started...I do know it ran
back into the 70's


I you get the full vin number the local GM dealer can run the vin
and tell you all the options. Many insurance companies and body
shops have access to vin information also.
