The flat bed was added afterward as this started life as a pickup truck. Yes, 1993 (not 1992) model year. We got the VIN, we win: 1GC for US made Chevrolet truck, H for 9,001 to 10,000 # Gross Vehicle Weight rating with hydraulic brakes, K for 4WD conventional chassis, 3 for 1-ton rated vehicle, 9 for extended cab, F for 6.5L V8 turbo diesel engine, 3 is a check digit, P for 1993 model year, E for Pontiac, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Pontiac MI plant (aka "Pontiac Truck and Bus") closed around 2008-2009. No, that's not a "built as a GMC". The SPID plant code was "GMC" for "GM Truck and Bus" which was what the plant was known as back in the day. We got the SPID, glad you did: L65 for 6.5L V8 turbo diesel engine, MT1 for 4L80E four speed automatic overdrive transmission with electronic controls, G80 for limited slip rear end, NA5 for Federal emissions, VK3 for front license plate bracket, C60 for air conditioning, N33 for tilt steering column, GMC for GMC Truck and Bus/Pontiac MI assembly, K34 for cruise control, X88 for Chevrolet branded vehicle (Z88 is for a GMC branded vehicle), K60 for 100 amp alternator, U66 for four speaker system, ZY1 for solid exterior paint, AJ1 for deep tinted rear and side windows, AK9 for rear three point restraint system, V22 for chrome front grille, TR9 for courtesy lamp group, 74/WA9260 for Victory Red exterior paint, among other codes.
Those door handles always break just like the interior door handles on GM OBS trucks.
