Would anyone know where I could go to get my VIN number broken down?
I want to know what my truck was originally equiped with.

Coxfmly,
What are your vin #'s? A good friend of mine is the parts mgr. of the local Chev. dealership. So I can get it all broken down for you. Get them to me and I'll call Lynn.

There are a couple of free ones on line. Go to google and search for vin number. There are couple of "pay" ones that will also come up, but check out a couple and you will find the free one.

For the ultimate info (in the U.S.)call GM customer service 1-800-222-1020, Give them your VIN# and request a "Restoration Packet". It's a free service from GM. They say wait 6-8weeks for the mail and you will receive info about your truck such as: original paint & interior color
-prodution/shipping dates
-quantity of same model produced
-original engine number
-original selling dealer & location
-special options
-engineering specifications

For those of us here in Canada contact:
General Motors Vintage Vehicle Services
1-888-467-6853
Only difference is here it cost $45.00cdn and it's 2-3weeks delivery. they have most info for all GM vehicles going back to 1946.
Hope this was helpfull
