Evidence status

Verified for exact VIN CKL246F369546, SPID model CK20903, 131.5-inch wheelbase, selected readable SPID entries and GM loading-plate ratings. This is document-content verification, not whole-truck or component authentication.

Factory documents

A preserved Service Parts Identification label and GM metal loading plate identify CKL246F369546. The SPID lists model CK20903 and a 131.5-inch wheelbase. Selected readable entries include LS9 350 V8, M20 four-speed manual transmission, G80 locking differential and Z81 basic camper equipment. These describe the photographed label, not the originality of the installed drivetrain or camper. The VIN-matched metal plate reads GVWR 8,400 lb, front GAWR 3,800 lb and rear GAWR 5,560 lb. It provides no manufacture date. Historical plate ratings do not establish present safe loading capacity.

Physical vehicle evidence

The auction gallery documents the pickup and Mitchell camper as presented in October 2024. Source images are not reproduced here. The installed 461ci V8 and Gear Vendors overdrive are later equipment and are not treated as factory configuration.

Owner or seller statements

The seller reported original-family ownership, installation of the camper in January 1976, approximately 77,000 miles shown and later service history. These statements are attributed claims; lifetime mileage remains TMU.

Later research

The November 15, 1975 Jerry Roth Chevrolet offer-to-purchase supports model context but lacks an independently legible completed VIN field. The Mitchell & Sons plate identifies a January 1976 camper and ID J1-146-12; it is upfitter evidence, not proof of Chevrolet factory installation.

Open questions

The five-digit odometer showed about 77,000 miles; lifetime mileage is unknown. Associated dealer paperwork lacks an independently legible completed VIN field. A separate Mitchell plate identifies the camper, not the Chevrolet chassis or factory installation. Document authenticity, current custody, camper installation history and present-component originality remain unresolved. No source images or private purchaser details are reproduced.
