Another question about my 80 shortbox
I just got the truck last night, late. I went to look it over real good today and noticed there was no visable VIN. Didn't these trucks have the VIN in the driverside dash corner?? If so they put a Blazer dash pad on there because there is no hole for the VIN to show through.
What say you fellas?? Thanks again, Patriot---------- |

Re: Another question about my 80 shortbox
You may have a 73-78 (no VIN hole, they were on the drivers door jamb) pad on your 80...covering it up.

Re: Another question about my 80 shortbox
Re-read my post...I said your 80 might have a 73-78 dashpad on it...covering up the dash VIN. If you pull the pad and find no VIN underneath, and there isn't one on the door jamb (if there is, then the cab was swapped), then you have troubles.

Re: Another question about my 80 shortbox
Yeah it is probably an early dashpad on your 80 as mentioned above. If you pull the dash and there is no VIN then the cab is '78 or earlier.
