VIN # Info?

[fireplug]

Hey guys I'm buying a '75 and wanted to check out the VIN to see how the truck came setup back then. Also I'm buying it unseen and thought that the VIN number seems strange ie. there doesn't seem to be any reference to the build year. Where can I look up the info? For interest sake it is TKY185F510407

The eighth digit of the vin is the year model. Shows to be 75 model.

T= GMC
K = 4wd
Y = 350 4 bbl
1 = 1/2 ton
8 = Jimmy
5 = 1975
F = Assembly plant = Flint
510407 = Truck Sererial Number


There you go

You can decode it on my Brochures page -- choose VIN decoder on the left.

And about all the VIN will tell you is engine and 4wd/2wd. For options, look in the glovebox for the Regular Production Option (RPO) list. Might also be on an inner fender in the engine compartment.
