well that is great news right there. Surprising that "it needs to be done" and don't have someone just assigned to do it. Silly GM :lol:

I'm available should GM decide to hire this person to be assigned......:tup:

Joking aside, let's not do what I just did :oops: and continue to convolute this thread....or maybe a new thread should be (or already has been) created for this with the relevant info intact?

Take a number and get in line dude....its a long long long line.

And I already called dibs about 9 years back, and I wasnt even the first. :p
Luckily, I got to drive the PPG back in 2000. Oh what a sweet joy it was to have my ass grace the seat of such a historic truck and turn on the light bar and people mover siren.

I am just holding my breath waiting to see if the vins on our Ty's correspond with the actual production #'s .

Elvis is this something you can find out?

I can tell you that, no, they do not. For instance, I have the build folders for 10 consecutive VINS sitting here on my desk. Here's things about them:

Code: 
Last 4 of VIN | Engine Sequence | Date of drivetrain document | Date received by PAS
    0118                    0152                                        9-20-1991                      9-30-1991
    0119                    0151                                        9-20-1991                      9-26-1991
    0120                    0147                                        9-19-1991                    10-01-1991
    0121                    0150                                        9-20-1991                      9-30-1991
    0122                    0155                                        9-20-1991                      9-26-1991
    0123                    0149                                        9-20-1991                      9-26-1991
    0124                    0094                                        9-16-1991                    10-01-1991
    0125                    0068                                        9-13-1991                      9-25-1991
    0126                    0071                                        9-13-1991                      9-25-1991
    0127                    0132                                        9-19-1991                    10-03-1991

BTW, all of these dates and items are already in the Sportmachines Registry. Click on any truck in the registry and if I have already gone through that truck, we have the info and dates listed. You can go throught sequential trucks and see that the dates jump all over.

Also, when PAS would quote truck sequence numbers, they would use the Engine Sequence number for some reason. Those people who have a document that states their Production Number, it's the engine sequence number.

Cheers.

Re: SyTy Secrets, REVEALED!

I was at the annual Firehawk Rally in Norwalk Ohio.
I met up with a Syclone owner. His Sy was #24 and it was clean.
It had ZR1 chrome wheels. It ran 11's on Saturday.

It was a young kid 25 to 30yrs old.

Doug, please get me the entire VIN so I can try to research this truck and figure out what it is about. Also, are there any odd stickers in the door jam or inside the gas filler area?

Thanks.
