How do I know what options??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello, has anyone done this or can anyone tell me
how to find out what options my truck came with from the
factory by the VIN# when the truck was built? I have no build sheet
or glovebox sticker. Please, if anyone knows how to do this I would
greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

No way that I know of without the build sheet or spid on the glovebox.

Yeah, I keep running in to brick walls on this.
Didn't know if someone out there on the forum
had any info on where to go. I don't know if you could
go to GM and if they kept any records or not.
Thanks for the reply.

You can decode the vin, it will give you a little bit of an idea. Good luck with your search

The VIN will tell you a little and a cross check of the frame partial VIN will tell you more. From there it is a matter of how much of the original truck is still there.
But no you can't request a build from a VIN like you can on Canadian trucks.
So is your truck an Oshawa (1) built truck?

No. The GM Heritage Center information starts with the 1976 model year for trucks.

As Tim suggests, if your truck was built in Oshawa (or for Canadian sale) you may be able to get the info through GM of Canada.
