There's a really good book out there called the Chevrolet Pickup 'Red Book'.

Gives:
*Serial numbers
*Options & Specs
*Colors & Codes
*Photos & History
for pickups, El Caminos, Blazers & more covering the years 1946 - 1972.

What year is the vehicle your trying to find the vin info for? (need to know that)

According to the vin and link posted it is a 1971 1/2 ton 4x4 blazer with a v8 made in St. Louis

Thanks to all. It just looked strange. My 72 gmc seamed to have on more digit.

GMC's did have an extra digit in '72. The first digit was a "T"..

Example:

Now I gotta go look

...I think the 'T' stood for TWO extra headlites

There was a site that you could contact GMC and get a Restoration packet on your truck
