shopman1 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I think Zippy can answer this one - - > How come the SS did not have it's own Vin numbering system? It would be nice to see if you were a low number and also see by the end of the years run how many were built. I believe the numbering was contiguous with the normal Silverado.

rmcswain Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Don't really know for sure, but have been told that the SS was treated just like any other Silverado and was issued the next VIN number that was available during "Silverado" production. The SS received, no advertising, no sequence VIN #'s, no respect, just an old chevy silverado like the rest of them good old chevy trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - we-all can lobby GM to reveal just the numbers that represent the SS's. They must have on file some place. Mervz - Can you check on this, it would be very cool if we could get the SS Vin numbers broken out in a contiguously numbered file. This may not be possible until the end of the 03 run year however, why not ask, it may be a no brainier for a GM programmer!!

zippy Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 it is a bit odd that they weren't numbered since most other special production vehicles were, but possibly because there were released mid year which would have made it more difficult to pick a numbering system not used along with not knowing how many would be built. if it had been the beginning of the year or even if they had known how many were being produced they probably could have set a certain number of vin's aside specificly for the ss. just my thought on it, anyone else?

If you can get to the GM programming team, they may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahoe341 Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I can probably find out how many were built if you really want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwest1975 Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 I can probably find out how many were built if you really want to know. LOL, now that is a silly question!
