Re: 1987 v.i.n question

I am not a 73-87 guy, so I could be wrong, but the D does seem odd. Have you looked at the cab to verify that it isn't just an oops on the title?

Edit: Maybe it's a Canada thing.

thanks for the help, we were told it was army but it is painted a dark pink, it does have a 6.2l, t400,d60/14bolt with 4:56 gears so it makes sense.
