Serial Number Composition
The serial numbers on 47-55 U.S. made Chevrolet Advance Design trucks
are 8-12 digits long*. They are comprised of two sections. The
first section ends with the last alpha character. It is arranged in
one of two distinct formats, depending on the year the truck was built,
as explained below. The second section, all numeric, is the Plant
Production Number, with the first truck built at a given plant receiving
the number 001001.
