Damn that was a 2000 limited z71 next to it..should’ve checked it out

I went to my junkyard this week. They crushed most of the 96+ OBS trucks. 😢 They stiil had some older ones. I told them WTF.

First one is a 1979 C10 with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD conventional chassis, D for 4.1L straight six engine, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for pickup and box, 9 for 1979 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis MO plant closed in 1986. Possible code 71 Dark Carmine and code 12 White two-tone exterior paint. Yes that sticker was put in GM trucks for years. 1980 C20 with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD conventional cab, M for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 4 for cab and pickup box, A for 1980 model year, F for Flint, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Flint MI plant still produces trucks today. Should also be code 12 White exterior paint. My friend just stopped by today and he gave me some NOS front bumper brackets for 1981-1991 Square Body trucks, including Blazer and Jimmy. I was able to put the part numbers into my parts computer and find the applications in a jiffy.

Yes, 1988 model year with the VIN for the win: 1GN for US made Chevrolet MPV, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, V for 4WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 6 for four door MPV, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 6 is a check digit, J for the 1988 model year, F for Flint, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Flint MI assembly plant still operates today and produces trucks. No SPID, wish you did, but possible code 72 Bright Red and code 37 Light Mesa Brown two-tone exterior paint.

1993 model year, not a 1994 with the VIN for the win: 1GB for US made Chevrolet incomplete vehicle, F for 7,001 to 8,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 6 for four door MPV, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, X is a check digit, P for the 1993 model year, J for Janesville, WI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Janesville WI plant operated from 1919 to 2009. Exterior paint is code 36U Medium Dark Teal. The camera/phone is moving way too fast and is making us dizzy. LOL.

1988 model year with the VIN for the win: 2GT for Canadian made GMC truck, D for 5,001 to 6,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for two door cab, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 8 is a check digit, J for the 1988 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant closed in 2019, then reopened in 2021 and continues to operate today. Should be code 12 White and code 75 Red two tone exterior paint. That's not the gear selector lever, that's the transfer case lever.

The black box on the left is the ABS unit and the one on the right is the ECM. I have a 98, I hate the 3rd door. The side leaks.

That thing is about picked clean. Few parts left. Don't see many of these in the yards.

That door striker pin was painted. Never seen that before. Must have had a respray at one point.

It's a 97-98, 1996's didnt have passenger airbag.

1998 model year with the VIN for the win: 1GC for US made Chevrolet truck, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, R for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with CPI, 4 is a check digit, W for the 1998 model year, E for Pontiac, MI assembly, and the rest is the production sequence. The Pontiac MI plant operated from about 1909 to 2009. We got the SPID, glad you did: L31 for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with CPI, GU6 for 3.42:1 rear axle, GMC for GMC Truck and Bus Assembly, Pontiac, MI, VK3 for front license plate bracket, M30 for 4L60E four speed automatic overdrive transmission, K34 for cruise control, N33 for tilt wheel, among other codes. Paint is (originally) code 35U/WA304D Laguna Green exterior paint.

No, 1984 not 1985 model year with the VIN for the win: 1GB for US made Chevrolet incomplete, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, G for G Series Van, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 5 for van, H for 5.0L (305 CID) V8 with four barrel, X is a check digit, E for the 1984 model year, 7 for Lordstown, OH assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Lordstown, OH plant operated from 1966 to 2019 and was known as "Industrial Woodstock" due to the hippie element that worked there. When there was a strike at a GM plant, management often said it had "Lordstown Syndrome". Trans-Aire International was located at 52652 Mobile Drive, Elkhart IN, 46515 and has been gone for some time. You got the SPID, glad you did.

Damn, you find a lot of square bodies. Our yards don't have any.

Yup, 1976 model year with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD conventional chassis, L for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 4 for pickup and box, 6 for 1976 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis MO plant closed in 1986 and in 1976 would have also been assembling the Corvette. No SPID, wish you did, but this should be code 12 White exterior paint.

That's a nice truck! Y'all have some nice trucks where you live my friend! Thanks for the video buddy! Have a blessed day today!

Thats a goid looking truck! Here in Tennessee that truck would be completely picked over and it wouldn't have a part on it! Lol. Great video buddy! Thanks for posting it!

On the roof you will need to use a finer sand paper after the 340. Use a good primer and finish with 1500 before you put paint on it.

Great finds. Yes, that is a 8 track head unit.

Yes that appears to be an 8 track.

Yup, 1974 model year with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD conventional chassis, Y for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, approximately 160 HP, 3 for 1 ton rated, 3 for cab and chassis, 4 for 1974 model year, J for Janesville, WI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. the Janesville WI plant as previously noted operated from 1919 to 2009. Possible code 555 Granada Beige exterior paint. Might have been a factory or dealer accessory switch, would need the SPID to see that.

2010 Camaro SS with the VIN for the win: 2G1 for Canadian made Chevrolet passenger car, FT for Camaro 2SS with manual transmission, 1 for two door coupe, E for active belts and air bags, front row and roof, W for 6.2L V8 with SFI, aka RPO code "LS3", 0 is a check digit, A for the 2010 model year, 9 for Oshawa #1 assembly, Ontario Canada and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa Ontario plant operated until 2019, closed and then reopened in 2021. Exterior paint is code "GAZ" Summit White. This color was often the "base" white color as would be on the Pontiac G6 models as well. My G6 convertible is White Diamond Tricoat, code 98U which was a $500 option when the car was new. You couldn't get a Camaro in Tricoat, only Summit White.

1993 model year with the VIN for the win: 1GK for US made GMC MPV, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # Gross Vehicle Weight Rating with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 8 for MPV, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 3 is a check digit, P for the 1993 model year, J for Janesville, WI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Janesville WI plant operated from 1919 to 2009 and has since been demolished. Should be code 50 Olympic White exterior paint.

Sweet, a square body with a manual. I would keep the manual transmission, not a lot of them left.

Yes, 1983 model year with the VIN called out for the win: 1GC for US made Chevrolet truck, D for 5,001 to 6,000 # Gross Vehicle Weight rating with hydraulic brakes, C for 2WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for two door pickup, D for 4.1L (250 CID) straight six, 7 is a check digit, D for the 1983 model year, J for Janesville, WI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Janesville, WI plant operated from 1919 to 2009 and has since been demolished. Possible code 63 Light Bronze exterior paint.

1975 model year with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, K for 4WD conventional chassis, Y for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, approximately 165 HP, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 4 for pickup, 5 for 1975 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis MO plant closed in 1986. That might be the original lock cylinder with aftermarket keys, or it could be a replacement lock. A "J" code lock is usually originally, most times they are "C" code replacements, but not always. It appears that it originally had a bed on it and the aftermarket flat bed was added later on. No, it's a 3/4 ton (20 Series), not a 1 ton (30 Series). We got the SPID, glad you did. Exterior paint is code 62 Buckskin Frost (sometimes called Light Saddle) and code 12 Frost White exterior paint, so it was likely a two-tone paint at one time.

i've never seen an obs in person but i've seen a chevy obs, i thought the ford was bigger, could you take measurements? from side window to side window? and cab height? i'm pretty sure the OBS has to be bigger in every dimension. Just look how massive and wide the windshield and the cab is at @2:45 compared to the chevy.

Nice show car mc

Thank you man god bless you

I am surprised you still have the early OBS trucks at the junk yards. They are impossible to find here. Luckily no issues finding 96 to 99.

Too much bouncing around with the camera, SLOW DOWN and stabilize it. 1987 model year XJ-6. Yes, those are the fuel tanks. There's a switch inside to change between the two. We got the VIN, we win: SAJ for Jaguar make, A for XJ-6, V for manual seat belts, 1 for four door sedan, 3 for 4.2L straight six, 4 for left hand drive with automatic transmission, 1 is a check digit, H for the 1987 model year, C for Brown's Lane, Coventry, England assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Brown's Lane facility operated as a Jaguar facility from about 1951 to about 2005 and was demolished around 2008. The transmission I believe was a three speed Borg-Warner automatic. Some Jaguar models used a GM Turbo Hydramatic. Should be code NDJ Nimbus White exterior paint.

LMC is good, but a bit pricey and no free shipping. I got a lot from them for my 81 and 86 Silverados.

Is it TBI?

These are good old trucks, worth fixing up. Only down side is the gage cluster and dash. Not as good as the later OBS. I have four late models. I show what I am doing to them on my channel. Hobby Lobby has a great selection of vinyl for the head liner. The vinyl holds up much better. @TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg

I would polish up the headlights with some Mother's Gold and it will get rid of the haze on them and make the truck look better. "Rebuild" not "build". GM already built it, you're rebuilding it.

"promo sm" 👀

This is a 1976, not a 1974 model year vehicle, with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD conventional chassis, L for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for two door cab and pickup box, 6 for 1976 model year (4 would be 1974 model year), S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis, MO plant closed in 1986. No SPID, wish you did, no tag, can't brag. Possible code 88 Tangier Orange exterior paint.

cant hardly hear you

1994 called and they want their video quality back......this one was rough as far as video and audio quality goes.... They've got the VIN a bit wrong, but you barely got the VIN on the door label. We (barely) got the VIN, we win: 2GT for Canadian made GMC truck, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 8 is a check digit, R (not D as on the bed of the truck) for the 1994 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa Ontario plant operated until 2019, closed for a time and then reopened in 2021 and still operates today. No tag, can't brag, no SPID, wish you did, but possible code 21 Radar Blue exterior paint.

Fucker looks badass, throw some all terrains on it and give it a wash

Hard to read the SPID, looks very faded. No VIN, can't win. When you post the VIN or SPID, leave out the last six digits as they are just the production sequence and not relevant to decoding. Plus, it's your own truck, you don't need the VIN floating out there if you don't need it. LOL.

Thats the bezel not the dash the dash is that crusty cracked piece thats sits above your speed o meter.

Not as popular as 80s Toyota's tho! Never seen one as complete as those chevys

We got the VIN, we win: 2GD for Canadian Chevrolet truck incomplete, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GWVR with hydraulic brakes, K 4WD conventional, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 2 is a check digit, P for 1993 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant operated until 2019 and then closed for a time and reopened in 2021. Tiara Coach is still in business in Elkhart, Indiana, but I believe it might be a different company as Mark III (of Ocala, FL also out of business) bought Tiara in 1997. This had some sort of upfit done after it was produced, likely a gooseneck or towing package or some sort of trim package. Possible code 57 Beige exterior paint.

I got the VIN on the first round.

Yup, first one is a 1990 with the VIN for the win: 2GC for Canadian made Chevrolet truck, G for 8,001 to 9,000 # Gross Vehicle Weight Rating with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional cab, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, 6 is a check digit, L for the 1990 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant operated until 2019, closed for a time and then reopened in 2021. No SPID, wish you did, but possible code 67 Saddle and 68 Dark Saddle two-tone exterior paint. That's the buck tag (like a trim tag) on the 1992 vehicle. It only has partial information on it that's relevant to the paint, body and other body related options. ZY1 means solid paint (one tone/color), WOR means Work Truck "WT" (as shown on the tailgate), BZY is the bed liner, KC4 is for an oil cooler and LB4 denotes the 4.3L V6 engine. CK10903 denoted a Chevrolet (C) 4WD (K) 1/2 ton (1) and the rest is the cab and body style of the vehicle. 92 might mean 1992 model year, 96 is Ultra Silver exterior paint, among other codes. We (barely) got the VIN, we win: 1GC for US made Chevrolet truck, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for two door cab, Z for 4.3L V6 with TBI, 3 is a check digit, N for the 1992 model year, Z for Fort Wayne, IN assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Fort Wayne plant opened in 1986 and still operates today.

No VIN, can't win. No tag, can't brag. Nothing to say. LOL.

1990 model year assuming the VIN written on the side is correct: With the VIN, we win: 1GC for US made Chevrolet truck, D for 5,001 to 6,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, C for 2WD conventional cab, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for two door cab, Z (not 2) for 4.3L V6 with throttle body fuel injection, 4 is a check digit, L for the 1990 model year, E for Pontiac Truck and Bus, Pontiac, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Pontiac T&B facility closed around 2009. No SPID, wish you did, but possible code 21 Light Blue exterior paint. Some W/Ts didn't come with AC as they were made to be cheap entry level trucks. Probably material differences in the plastic and molds as to why some get sticky and some don't.

Yup, 1998 model year with the VIN for the win: 2GC for Canadian made Chevrolet truck, E for 6,001 to 7,000 # GVWR with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional cab, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, R for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with CPI, 3 is a check digit, W for the 1998 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant operated until 2019, closed for a time and then reopened in 2021. We got the SPID, glad you did: AU3 for power locks, A31 for power windows, C60 for AC, G80 for limited slip rear end, GT4 for 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, L31 for 5.7L V8 with CPI, M30 for 4L60E four speed automatic overdrive transmission, N33 for tilt steering wheel, X88 for Chevrolet branded vehicle, VK3 for front plate bracket, Z71 for off-road chassis package, 41U for Black exterior paint, among other codes. Larry H. Miller Chevrolet is still around in either Provo or Murray, UT. Point the camera on the phone up a little when you do videos and get a wider view to mix it up. Looking at the ground all the time is annoying.

No, this is a 1991 model year truck. We got the VIN, we win: 2GC for Canadian made Chevrolet truck, F for 7,001 to 8,000 # Gross Vehicle Weight Rating with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 9 for extended cab, K for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with TBI, X is a check digit, M for the 1991 model year (1992 would be "N"), 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant operated until 2019, closed for a short time and then opened again in 2021 and still operates today. We got the SPID, glad you did: G80 for posi rear end, C60 for AC, N33 for tilt wheel, MD8 for THM700R4 four speed automatic transmission, L05 for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 with throttle body fuel injection, A31 for power windows, AU3 for power locks, OSG for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly, GU6 for 3.42:1 rear axle ratio, V73 for US/Canada vehicle statement, KC4 for oil cooler, X88 for Chevrolet branded vehicle, 22U/WA9658 for Bahama Blue upper exterior paint, 97L/WA9658 for Dark Gray lower exterior paint, among other codes. I'll come back later and go through some of the rest of them.
