Help on vin and paint# - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bad61 · 12-23-2010, 10:54 PM

I have found sites that help with vin tag decoding but i can't find anything on bench seat color or exterior color. I also have custom trim and my tag says
trim-STD(standard).
paint-RPO721H
vin-OC144L1O7148
help please.

The exterior code should be on your Tag on the driver side kick panel. Not to sure about the seat color.

Sweet truck by the way. A lot of 61's popping up.

bad61 · 12-23-2010, 11:07 PM

I found the tag I just don't know how to read it.

Did you try the FAQ section above the threads? There is a vin thread; haven't read it though......

thanks missoula!

I like your work Jons custom shop! I was raised in billings and have deep roots in montane, thanks for your help. The trim says it's standard but it's custom, could they have screwed up at the plant?

jonzcustomshop · 12-24-2010, 06:34 PM

I was thinking the trim-std might refer to the interior, the bbw and custom cab stuff might have been a rpo that would be on the build sheet, but not the tag.

I have a 66 bbw with the trim , and the build sheet lists both of them , I will have to check the kick panel tag and see what it says.

bad61 · 12-24-2010, 06:49 PM

do you have the chrome trim that goes in the rear window rubber? i'm on the hunt for it.

jonzcustomshop · 12-25-2010, 01:43 AM

as far as I know the very first pic you posted is correctly trimmed out.
in the aftermarket you can get a rear rubber with a chrome bead lock, but it is not factory correct.
