Re: Rpo vn5

Both are SEO's (Specialty Equipment options, as opposed to RPOs - Regular production options). The SEO group handled all kinds of one-off vehicles for fleets, distinguished by the buyers (U Haul, Penske, Ryder, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Grand Trunk Railroad, whomever) and/or by content (special boxes, unique colors, special wire harnesses, etc). Production volumes were usually in the range of "1" to less than 100 / 200 or so.

VN5 looks like a fleet discount specifically for the Wrigley company. You might recognize the applicable truck lines:

C - 2wd fullsize
K - 4wd fullsize
G - full size van
M - Astro van 2wd
L - Astro van awd
S - small pickup, 2wd
T - small pickup, 4wd

E8A - SEO for rear tonneau cover delete. Could be anything, not a pickup bed cover (since they were not available) but perhaps some kind of rear cargo cover (internal) and could have been used for any product line - truck or passenger car.

In either case, they are both really obscure and probably nothing to get excited about.

Re: Rpo vn5

You can tell them apart because pontgta's truck only goes straight, and mine only goes around corners...
