Re: vin question
There's a really good book out there called the Chevrolet Pickup 'Red Book'.
Gives: *Serial numbers *Options & Specs *Colors & Codes *Photos & History for pickups, El Caminos, Blazers & more covering the years 1946 - 1972. What year is the vehicle your trying to find the vin info for? (need to know that) |

Re: vin question
GMC's did have an extra digit in '72. The first digit was a "T"..
