Enjoi, first thing, welcome to the Stovebolt site. I think you will find what you need here and you will also find several bolters from the MD area.
Since this is the Welcome Centre your questions will be better ask in the regular shop forums as not everyone stops here as they visit the bolt.
For your questions, since you have a big truck, you may want to as about the vin questions in the General Truck forum or the one for the bigger trucks in the Big Bolt Forum. I'm sure guys there can help you.
Visit the Tech Tips and the you will find the Vin Buster where you put in your vin # and it may decipher it for you.
.....oh, and as a new member you are "moderated" for the first FOUR post that you make. We do this to help keep out spammers and such who would cause damage to the site. This means that you cannot send, or receive, PM"s (private message's) until after your 4th post.
Look forward to seeing you around the shop forums and thank you for posting the pictures.
