Jay--

You can get some usefull info from the Restoration Info Pack, available
from Chevy, 1-800-222-1020...have your VIN ready, and also be prepared
to ask to talk to a supervisor if the person you get on the line doesn't
know what you are talking about.

The VIN on task force trucks looks like:

V3B59L123456

V means V-8 (no character here if it was a 6 originally)

3B is the model...this is a long bed 1/2 ton, 3A is short 1/2, 3E is 3/4
ton

59 is the year

L is Los Angeles, the assembly plant (others are:  Atlanta, Baltimore,
Flint, Janesville (WI), Kansas City, Norwood, Oakland, St Louis, and
Tarrytown.  G is GM Truck.

The next 6 numbers are the sequential identification number.

Hope this gets you started...
Jim
