16 General Information Vehicle Data Identification and Labels It is extremely important that the correct vehicle model and serial number are given whenever replacement parts or service liter- ature 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 (see next page).
The 8–digit chassis number is em- bossed 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.
