Vehicle ID Number (Breakdown):

Model Codes And Gross Vehicle Weights:

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
A seventeen-digit combination of numbers and letters form the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is stamped on a metal tab that is riveted to the instrument panel close to the windshield. The VIN number is viewable by looking through the front windshield on the driver's side. The VIN number is also found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.

SAFETY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION LABELS
The English Safety Compliance Certification Label is attached to the latch edge on the driver's side door. The label contains the name of the manufacturer, the month and year of manufacture, the certification statement, and the Vehicle Identification Number. The label also contains gross vehicle weight ratings, wheel and tire data, and information codes for additional vehicle data.

The vehicle data appears on the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the second and third lines following the identification number. The code set (two numbers, or two letters, or a number and a letter) above Color identifies the exterior paint color. The letters and/or number under Body designate the interior trim, seat and the body type. The letters and/or numbers under Tape designate the external body side tape stripe code.

The digits under WB designate the wheelbase in centimeters. The letter and three digits under Type-GVW designate the truck model within a series and the gross vehicle weight rating.

View: Transmission Codes:

The transmission installed in the vehicle is identified under Trans by an alphabetical code. A letter and a number or two numbers under Axle identifies the rear axle ratio. The spring usage codes for the vehicle are identified under Spring.

A two-digit number is stamped above DSO to identify the district which ordered the vehicle. If the vehicle is built for a special order (Domestic Special Order, Foreign Special Order, Limited Production Option, or other special order), the complete order number will also appear above DSO. The following charts list the various vehicle data codes:
