sequencing of the VIN number.

Thanks to Bill Hanlon, here is the some references he send me long ago on
the sequence of numbers of a 56 GMC and the explanation.
Here is the number>>>>>>1018YP3911
10 10=1/2 ton, 15=3/4 ton, 25=1 ton,
1 1=short bed, 2=long bed
8 8=V8 engine (288ci in '55, 316 in '56
347 in '57, 336 in 58-9) If 6 cyl
there is no digit in this place in
the VIN.
Y Y=55 second series, X=56, T=57, S=58/9
P P=built in Pontiac Michigan plant, C=
built in the California plant
3911 serial number
