Re: vin decoding help please?

As far as I know you can. You don't have to post the last six since this is just the build sequence number. I have posted a couple on here.

If you have a spid sticker I think the big ten and heavy half should have rpo code F44.

Re: vin decoding help please?

i sure would like to know a little more history on my truck.

i peeled the sticker out of my parts truck glove box but i kept it with the title in case i ever want to sell it or if im ever interested in seeing the options for that specific truck i sure wish the previous owner of my truck would have done the same!

Re: vin decoding help please?

Does your truck have the original seat? Might take it out and see if there is one in the bottom of it in the springs. Just a thought. I think sometimes they got stuffed in the seat if I am not mistaken.

Re: vin decoding help please?

My dealer has access to production info, I can give him the last 8 digits and he can tell me everything it came with. Might check with your dealer's part's counter...

Re: vin decoding help please?

PM me the info, I'll try but we haven't had much luck with stuff before about '80. I need to know what you want to know as well. It's kinda nice to know where a truck started, but at this point it really doesn't matter much.
