From the listing I knew it had a cab from a long bed but I was shocked to find the GMC chassis. It is titled as a model 1534 Chevy, which matches the original documents but now I'm trying to find the GMC VIN on the frame.

C10 SWB will always be a Chevrolet. The GMCs are -not- mentioned as a "C" anything.

Cab is the same, long bed or short bed.

Now here is my problem.
1534 is -not- a normal designation for a Chevrolet.
First off, 10, 20, 30 are the numbers for Chevrolet trucks while 10, 15, 25 are the equivalent GMC numbers. -Except for Canada-
-edit-
In the US apparently 144 is the designation for a 1/2 ton short bed. 154 is the designation for a 1/2ton long bed.
US 1964 VIN should look something like 4C144F100001 for a 1/2ton shortbed.
Canada 1964 VIN should look something like 4C1434600001A for a 1/2 ton shortbed.
-end edit-

A Chevrolet 1534 truck *could* be from Canada... but that would be a longbed truck.

Could you post the VIN? I have spent a bit of time working with the VINs.
