I am having trouble finding anyone who can help me decode the VIN on my 1969 Chevrolet Blazer. I am the 2nd owner of this Blazer and the original owner orderd this vehicle from the dealer in 1968. Everyone i talked to says this is not a valid VIN or the VIN is a truck VIN, but no real answers. This is the VIN that is on my title and on the driver side door pillar: BKE149S873719 if anyone has any idea on how to decode this VIN please let me know, any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is what i think is correct so far.
B - ?
K - 4 Wheel Drive
E - V8
1 - ?
4 - ?
9 - 1969
S - St Louis
8 - ?
7 - ?
3 - ?
7 - ?
1 - ?
9 - ?

 

This helps a little, but still incomplete.
