Nice, thanks for the info.

[Pickles]

Thanks for the "good deed a month"

[Longhorn Man]

All that info is avalible on the board;

Well...it's the thought that counts. Questions have been asked @ various times about the VIV #'s I guess even I didn't relize it was listed. Plus this is much more colorful then the link. Color is good.

[Longhorn Man]

LOL! Most ppl don't know it's there, I almost always link to it when the question comes up.
It's only shortcoming, is the extra C on a 72 chevy. This vin decoder does not address it.

[70cst]

One can have knowledge and still not have wisdom. So...the day may come when I will have both but until that day arrives I will strive to continue to do one good deed a month. I stand corrected...but this was my best effort at least for now.

[Longhorn Man]

lotsa ppl don't know about it, so yes, it was a very good attempt.
Also, another detail left out on that decoder, on plants that had 2 assembly lines making trucks, the first truck off line A, would be 100001. (as indicated in the decoder) However, the first one off the assembly line B, would be 700001.

Very good point Longhorn Man...that is one thing I did not consider. Again as we (I) continue to read the various post I will continue to get educated on the finer aspects of these trucks and related info.

OK LM,what I want to know is how you access links like that.I went to the main home page and clicked FAQ and got lost.
Also,what about GMCs!?

On the left, 3rd link down from the top

We don't have a GMC decoder. I think if we pulled all the GMC info together, we'd have all the info we need... but as far as I know, there is nothing published.

[WorkinLonghorn]

Ok got it,thanks. Seems like I saw a GMC one once on here. I'll look around.
