26 INTRODUCTION
VEHICLE DATA
Identification and Labels
It is extremely important that the correct vehicle model and serial number are given
whenever replacement parts or service literature 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. Vehicles for export, excluding
Canadian vehicles, have the full 17-digit VIN on the frame.
The 8-digit chassis number is embossed into the bottom flange right hand side of the frame
rail and the top flange left hand side of the frame rail, 42 inches (1065 mm) back from
the front edge of the frame rail. The use of this number is very helpful when ordering
parts for your vehicle.
