You can't trust what they put on paper either including the form 97.. That is one reason I am being so persistent with this. With all of the CUCV's being released from Gl without doors and windshields it is not uncommon to find trucks with VIN tags that are hard to read due to rust. When I...
So you are saying that the factory service manual does not define an 8 in the third digit but does define D as military in the 5th digit. I always assumed that it was the D in the 5th digit that was making the vins come back as invalid since they are not on any of the Internet sites that I have...
I looked in my copy of a 1980 and 1998 GM service manual and both have a full page on decoding vin numbers. Unfortunately neither are close enough in time to be of much help with CUCV's. The 1998 did have D= military 4/4 for the 5th digit. I was thinking that D might just mean government...
I have looked on GL at about 30 M1009's. They are all 8 in the third digit. I have a truck manual of a 1980 chev pickup I used to own at home I will have to look at it. If anyone has one from 1984 to 1986 and could scan it for me or fax it to me, I would appreciate it. Like I said before, I...

I have been working on this by going through old GL sales I have saved. I am going to post a new topic with the final results when I am through with it.
I was wondering if anyone knows if civi blazers have an...
I went through the rest of the trucks on the sale with the one above and all of the M1009's begin with 1G8. Most of the rest were 1GC with one being 1GB and one 1GD. The 1GB was a maintenance bed truck and the 1GGD34J7HF318973 was this truck: If I am counting correctly it is one digit short...
RE: VIN
After I made the above post, I went out and looked at my paperwork for my truck. It is indeed titled as 1G8 mainly because that is what I turned in with a photo of the vin plate to the title bond people. It is a residue truck I bought from GL. I looked at the vin plate again and it...
RE: VIN
I was going to answer ONTOS66's MV Insurance in NJ post, but I think I will put it here since it adds to this one. I have two more links on decoding the VIN number.
