Look to the 10th character of the Chevy truck's VIN to find the model year. Match the numeral with a corresponding model year on a Chevrolet VIN decoder chart.

Mine is CKL247FXXXXXX

C=Chevrolet Division
K=4x4
L=350 v-8
2=3/4 ton
4=pickup/van
7=1977
F=Flint Plant

Xs are just a serial number for that truck.

#6 on VIN is what you want for year. # matches year. This applies to 1978 and older without the standardized VIN.
