PASSENGER CAR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The vehicle identification number is visible through the windshield near the left door. On all passenger cars, except Corvette, it is stamped on a plate located on the instrument panel. On Corvettes, it is on the left windshield pillar.
LIGHT DUTY (10-30) TRUCK VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
C, K, G, S and El Camino trucks display the VIN plate on the left hand side of the instrument panel area. On P 42 models, the plate is attached to the top of the radiator support, and on Motor Home Chassis P 32, to the dash and toe panel.
MEDIUM DUTY TRUCK VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
On Conventional Cabs, the VIN plate is mounted on the left door lock pillar. On School Bus Chassis, the plate is attached to the engine side of the cowl. On P Models, it is located on top of the radiator support panel.
BODY IDENTIFICATION PLATE
On the Chevrolet, Malibu Classic, El Camino and Monte Carlo the body identification plate is located on the upper horizontal surface of the cowl plenum chamber. The Cavalier, Celebrity, Camaro, Citation and Chevette plate is located on the upper horizontal surface of the radiator support.
CORVETTE BODY PAINT AND TRIM PLATE
The body paint and trim plate which is stamped with the trim, paint and time built codes is attached to the left door hinge pillar.
The time built code contains an alpha representing the month followed by two numerics representing the day of the month. A is used for the first month, B for the second, etc. Example: A21 (August 21st); B02 (September 2).
LIGHT DUTY TRUCK SERVICE PARTS IDENTIFICATION STICKER
A Service Parts Identification Sticker is furnished for L.D. Trucks except El Camino. It contains a complete listing of the vehicle identification number (V. I. N.) wheel base and all production options used to assemble the vehicle, such as suspension, body equipment, engine, axle, transmission, tires, etc.
On C, K and S models, this sticker is attached to the inner glove compartment. For P models, it is mailed separately to the dealer. On G models, the sticker is located on the inner hood panel surface. 1982 PASSENGER ENGINE CODES ----------------------

PASSENGER CAR TRANSMISSION IDENT. NUMBER FOR "SERVICE" USAGE
The following system will be used to identify service transmission assemblies. This number system applies to domestically produced complete service transmission assemblies only. Transmission cases are no longer identified. Manufacturing Plants will number each service assembly as it is produced. The first letter will designate the GM Division which produced the unit - "C" (Chevrolet). The second letter will indicate the type of unit "T" (transmission). The number following the letter will designate the model year - 11211 (1982). The last five digits specify the service replacement sequence number. The group of numbers to be used by Chevrolet Manufacturing plants are as follows:
PLANT SERIAL SEQUENCE ----- --------------- Chevrolet - Parma Transmission Plant 00001 to 14999
Chevrolet - Toledo Transmission Plant 15000 to 24999
Chevrolet - Muncie Transmission Plant 25000 to 44999
EXAMPLE: Number CT200175 designates Chevrolet Transmission, year, and 175th unit produced for service at Parma.
Upon completion of the serial sequence, the plant will reuse the above numbers using a letter prefix, such as A, B, or C.
EXAMPLE: CT2A00175
Hydra-Matic Division 00001 to 99999
Hydra-Matic Division Transmissions will be numbered with the letter "H" regardless of the GM Division using the transmission.
Buick Motor Division 00001 to 99999
Buick Motor Division produced transmissions will be numbered with the letter "B" regardless of the GM Division using the transmission.

TRUCK TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR "SERVICE" USAGE
The following system will be used to identify service transmission assemblies domestically produced. This number system applies to complete service transmission assemblies only. Transmission cases are no longer identified. Manufacturing Plants will number each service assembly as it is produced. The first letter will designate the GM Division which produced the unit - "C" (Chevrolet).
The second letter will indicate the type of unit - "T" (Transmission). The number following the letter will designate the model year - "2" (1982). The last five digits specify the service replacement sequence number. The group of numbers to be used by Chevrolet Manufacturing plants are as follows:
PLANT SERIAL SEQUENCE* ----- ---------------- Tremec Ind. - Division of Clark Equipment 0001 to 9999
Chevrolet - Parma Transmission Plant 00001 to 14999
Chevrolet -Toledo Transmission Plant 15000 to 24999
Chevrolet -Muncie Transmission Plant 25000 to 44999
Hydra-Matic 400 00001 to 99999
Hydra-Matic transmissions will be numbered with the letter "H" regardless of the GM Division using the transmission.
EXAMPLE: Number CT200175 designates Chevrolet Transmission, year, and 175th unit produced for service at Parma.
Upon completion of the serial sequence, the plant will reuse the above numbers using a letter prefix, such as A, B, or C to indicate late production transmissions; for example: CT2A0001.
PASSENGER CAR REAR AXLE IDENTIFICATION
Axles are manufactured by Buick, Chevrolet Buffalo, Chevrolet Gear and Axle, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and GM Of Canada (McKinnon). Divisional Manufacturer code letters will be metal stamped on the axle tube adjacent to the carrier for field identification. (See Example). Letters and numerals 1/4" high are metal stamped on right front inboard side, 3" outboard of carrier or are located on a metal tag attached to cover bolt.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
