I wish he had reached out sooner to me for help on confirming information on a few things as I collaborated with Bruce very slightly on this project to help him with info I personally had from doing this research and I know for a fact that he has 3-4 years of heavy research to develop this chart. None of this info was readily or easily available prior to now and he did this purely to help other GMC owners to be able to decipher their VIN's easily and accurately so he defiantly deserves our HEARTFELT THANKS!!!

A Tremendous Job Bruce, My hats off to you!!!

Paul @ GMCPauls
Thank you Paul, Those are wonderful compliments coming from a GMC expert like you. Both times I contacted you with a question you were very kind to answer, and prompt to. I only contacted you after I had exhausted all my other resources, on a particular question. Thank You for helping.
I was wondering if you would like to see where it started? Here is the first 67 gmc decoder that I drew up about 3 1/2 years ago. It was revised several times since then. I just looked the pic over this morning, and counted 8 changes and 2 mistakes.
