Where could I find info on trucks with our VIN numbers for free?
Where is someplace I can go for free to check on any car. Carfax wants to charge $15.

What you trying to find out on the truck? If your looking for history, I dunno if there is any place to go. If looking to decode, you came to the right place.

You can get a resto pack from GM using your VIN at www.chevrolet.com.

Go to the "Contact Us" section of their customers area. Fill out the form (you'll have to enter something like "Silverado" for a choice because they don't have old names, and their VIN's are 17 digits so I just added 5 "x"' to the end of mine), and ask to get a restoration packet for your truck.

They'll respond with something like:

Quote:
