VIN , again , I know...

[the baron]

Hi Guys ,

something I don't get :

on my Burb , I have the plate giving the VIN , being : 1G8EC16C0GF followed by the six numbers

I did a search on Google , that VIN doesn't exist ,

while the VIN : 1G8EC16C0CF------ ( hidden ;D ) do well exist...

so , WTF ?

I want to know if my Burb is a 1982 or a 1986...

can someone help me , I think it is a 1982 , but I'm not sure , knowing that on my Burb , the light & the wiper's switches are on the same place ( dash ) than on my 1979 C-10 , while , I think , the wiper's switch on a 1986 should be on the left stick , right ?

I can't rely on the title , as it mentions 1967

this all because I need an other Tilt steering column , but I need to know the year before I order one ( wiring... )

thanks for your replies

the Baron
