I have seen people do it for others on this and other sites, but would like to directly access the info if I can.

the only part of a vin that only dealerships have the means of getting info from a vin is the last 6 numbers because that is the production sequence numer. tells them everything about that vehicle

Somewhere in the Chiltons Book, it explains what each number in the VIN means. check it out.

your owners manual for your truck will tell you what each number and letter stands for!

chiltons and owners manual will give you the nation of orign,manufacturer,make,gvmr/braking system,line/chassis type,series,body type,engine type/make,year,and assembly plant

here is a cool site for an RPO checker S10's ( those codes in the glovebox) - RPO check (http://www.s10forum.com//rpo/)


here is one for a generic vin checker - VIN checker (http://www.autobaza.pl/ab/en/web/homeaa0100)
