How is that possible?..you ask.

Well, many of the parts that came on your Chevrolet or GMC pickup truck were also used for other years. The problem occurs when the restorer is not aware that a part from a 1977 truck is identical to the ones used for 1973 through 1976 trucks, as an example.

So, an interchange part, basically is the same part, down to the OEM part number. And when it comes to trucks, you're not limited to pickups, obviously. Some identical parts were used in Blazers, Jimmys and Suburbans, too. As you can see, this part sourcing can get pretty confusing, really fast.

That's why you need to have a copy of Chevy and GMC Truck Parts Interchange Guide 1973-1987 every time you're out there scouting for parts With a little bit of page flipping, you can quickly confirm if the vehicle you have in front of you will be able to source the part you need for your classic truck.

VIN

It is important that you know how to decode the Vehicle Identification Number, as many changes in part design will refer to this in the interchanges.

It is also a way to distinguish the various models in the line.

Since a pickup is licensed as a truck in most states, your Chevrolet will have a combination Vehicle Identification and Rating plate, instead of having a VIN plate that will be attached to the instrument panel, as with other GM cars.

This plate is located attached to the left hand door pillar. This changed in 1979, when a conventional type VIN plate was attached to the instrument panel on the driver's side.

This plate is readable only through the windshield.
