1976 GMC K1500 — TKL146Z514127

Record at a glance

VIN: TKL146Z514127
Year: 1976
Make: GMC
Model / series: K1500

Evidence status

The metal identification/camper-loading plate clearly reads TKL146Z514127, matching AutoHunter lot 32558548. The SPID’s visible VIN portion is consistent with TKL146Z51412, with the final area shadowed or obstructed. Its complete identity match remains unverified.

Factory documents

The associated SPID reads model TK10703 and literal wheelbase 1175. Selected rows include LS9 with 350-cubic-inch V8 wording, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, A52 FRONT BENCH SEAT, AN1 FOLDING SEAT BACK, A28 SLIDING REAR WINDOW, YE9 SILVERADO EQUIPMENT, ZY3 special two-tone wording and 81L MOSS GOLD wording. Clipped endings and the complete SPID VIN are held. SILVERADO is literal text on this GMC-associated label, not a division-wide trim rule or installed-equipment finding.

Physical vehicle evidence

The installed GM metal plate shows GVWR 6,200 lb and front/rear GAWR 3,520 lb. Its camper-rating number is too soft to adopt. No date or federal-conformity declaration is visible on the metal piece; the separate strip above is too partial to identify. Historical inscriptions do not establish current capacity, legal certification status or roadworthiness.

Owner or seller statements

The dealer describes a metallic-blue K1500 Sierra Classic with gray individual front seats, a lifted suspension and other changes. Its reportedly numbers-matching 350 engine and other component/history descriptions remain seller claims.

Later research

AutoHunter lot 32558548 lists this exact VIN and a February 1, 2023 end date. The page displays a highest bid and ended status; no completed sale is established here. Its blue/gray sale presentation is kept separate from the associated label’s readable front-bench and Moss Gold entries.

Open questions

Recover a clearer complete SPID VIN and camper-rating field, identify any separate manufacture-date label, and establish document authenticity and association. Original powertrain, paint, trim and equipment, lifetime mileage, ownership continuity, auction outcome and current custody remain unresolved.

Photographed vehicle identity

The GM metal identification/camper-loading plate photographed for AutoHunter lot 32558548 clearly reads TKL146Z514127, matching the auction’s listed VIN. The plate records GVWR 6,200 lb and front/rear GAWR 3,520 lb. No manufacture date or federal-conformity declaration is visible on this metal piece; the separate strip above it is too partial to identify reliably. These historical inscriptions are not a present-capacity assessment or legal certification finding.

Associated SPID photograph

The gallery also shows a Service Parts Identification label. Its visible VIN portion is consistent with TKL146Z51412, but the final area is shadowed or obstructed. It therefore remains an associated label photograph rather than a second independently complete VIN match. The model reads TK10703 and the wheelbase entry is printed as 1175.

Selected readable rows include LS9 with 350-cubic-inch V8 wording, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, A52 FRONT BENCH SEAT, AN1 FOLDING SEAT BACK, A28 SLIDING REAR WINDOW and the literal entry YE9 SILVERADO EQUIPMENT. The Chevrolet-associated trim wording is preserved as printed on the GMC-associated label; it is not silently changed to Sierra Classic. The label also shows ZY3 special two-tone wording and 81L with MOSS GOLD wording. Clipped paint and upholstery endings are not completed.

Listing presentation and limits

The dealer describes a metallic-blue K1500 Sierra Classic with a gray interior, individual front seats, a lifted suspension and other modifications. Its reportedly numbers-matching engine remains a seller claim. Those sale descriptions are distinct from the photographed label’s front-bench and paint entries.

The auction page gives a February 1, 2023 end date and shows a highest bid, without establishing a completed sale in the reviewed material. The photographs belong to one dealer/auction source family. The SPID’s complete VIN, soft camper-rating number, exact manufacture date, document authenticity, original components, lifetime mileage and current custody remain unresolved. No private owner information or source images are reproduced.
