Door VIN Plate
On the Door vin plate, there are two letters on the lower left "DD: In this case, and a series of numbers to the right.
Looks like a DD 9 927 66 What are these codes for?

Re: Door VIN Plate
Sorry, I didn't see the picture before. No clue what that is there for. I'm interested to find out though.

Re: Door VIN Plate
From a bit of looking on other sites suggest it was for dealers to stamp delivery date for warranty and chevy started this 63 ish problem was touchy the spot weld vin tag it would fall off
The dealers that did try stamp date stopped as re attaching vin plates to not look altered was tough And chevy carried this through on vin plates after they started riveting them https://www.camaros.net/threads/dd-on-vin.25468/ Last edited by gmc684x4; 06-23-2020 at 03:08 PM. |

Re: Door VIN Plate
Ok, so you are talking about the one and only VIN plate on the jamb. When you said door, I was confused. Your photo looks nothing like my '71, so I guess the design changed over the years...will have to look that up in the parts vendor catalogs.

I haven't seen any reference to it anywhere. It is definitely not a paint code as my truck was a custom paint code on the SPID.

Re: Door VIN Plate
That DD is definitely factory. No dealer could stamp that perfectly. Once Vin plates were installed they were never made to come off by federal law.

Re: Door VIN Plate
That is interesting. Mine also has the DD without any dealer stamps after it. Here is another article that supports the idea of DD = delivery date
