D = Diesel engine 6-71E
862 = Truck model, four different wheelbases possible depending on whether it is a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd series
S = production year I believe 1958
5357 = regular production number
U = I can find no mention of this letter in this position
As I said I'm no expert, I could be out in left field, but I hope this helps some. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | the vin buster here only talks chevy - might find something at GMCtrucks.com Bill | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 127 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 127 | thanks for all your help, when i got the truck I was told it was a 1957,but was told that was wrong.I am trying to get it wright before I title the truck with the D.M.V.
