And for anyone else who wants to know:
I printed this off for myself when I first got my truck. I keep it with my truck paperwork for future reference. http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/VIN2.htm http://www.usa1industries.com/1981-1...der-chart.html http://www.usa1industries.com/1973-1...der-chart.html |
