I am looking for a website that will let you identify what VIN numbers stand for. For all makes and models of cars/trucks. Anybody out there found one. Better yet anybody found one that is free.
thanks for your help,

I've never seen one for all makes and models... usually the vin decoder pages are kinda specfic to a type of vehicle... like the vin decoder at american classics is for chevy trucks...

alot of pages like the stovebolt page have the codes and breakdown of what the serial numbers mean.. but you have to do it yourself, it isn't diffucult once you have the order and what the letters, numbers mean.

But, you have to find the webpages dedicated to that type of vehicle usually in order to find anything useful out.

I have seen a site that decoded all 'VIN' numbers. However, the context of that site was the uniform Vehicle Identification Number that was implemented some time back, maybe the 80's, but which does not include the trucks we care about here.

VIN and Serial Number are often used interchangably, but there does appear to be some difference in what they mean.

I've been collecting information with the intention of creating a web page that will intrepret a serial number and tell what it means. I'm starting with '47 - '55 1st Chevrolet and GMC Trucks only, but will expand as I gain command of the process and more information about what the numbers and letters mean.


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
