That's the last three digits of the PVI, or Primary Vehicle Identifier.

It is established after the dealer order number is sent to the final assembly location, and is how the vehicle is identified until the cab, trim, and final (or general) assembly sequence numbers are established.

The VIN is also tied to that but nobody cares about the VIN in the assembly plant (other than getting the right one on the right vehicle). The GA sequence number is the gold source.
