16 General Information
Vehicle Data
Identification and Labels
It is extremely important that the correct
vehicle model and serial number are given
whenever replacement parts or service liter-
ature are ordered. Using these numbers, as
well as giving the major component model
and serial numbers, will prevent delay and
errors in obtaining the correct material.
Space is given on the rear inside cover of
this manual for noting the main component
model and serial numbers.
The full 17–digit Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) is shown on the Vehicle
Identification label located in the door
opening on the driver’s side (see next
page). The 8–digit chassis number is
stamped into the right-hand frame rail un-
derside and the left-hand frame rail topside,
42 inches (1065 mm) back from the front
edge of the frame rail. The use of this num-
ber is very helpful when ordering parts for
your vehicle.
