Due to the 2004 theft of my truck I am missing the "Service Parts Identification" decal for the glove box, also the tire size/inflation information that was below the door striker, and the GM id decal that was about eye level on the inside edge of the drivers door. I remember it being manufactured 5/81. It had the VIN number, and weight as well. Sort of a pita for the safety inspection, but they eventually figure things out. Does anyone make reproductions of these types of decals or am i sol? I do have the same under hood decal as in the second post by HotRodPC, but the "model year 1981" has been cut out. I found that decal in the glove box, and glued it back under the hood as is. Would be nice to have a complete emissions, and the rest of these decals back on the truck.

There are companies out there that refurb or reman OE Fisher Metal Body Tags for full restore vehicles, but for sticker type labels, unless the dealer has something I'd say you're SOL and even if you do find something, it's not going to be VIN spedific. I'd say the best you can come up with is someone else have the stickers in good shape, taking high quality pics, then you modify the best you can and print them, but you'll never have them perfect now that I'd think. It would be nice if they could be reproduced from the VIN from a dealership.

I have a ton of SPID labels and can probably help a bit with options and specifics.

Would you be able to scan it? I can probably decipher it better that way.

I will check out that differential tomorrow when We bring the pickup in that We installed them differentials into.Swapped the 3/4 ton springs and the lift kit over to a 84 1/2 ton job.Have to bring it back in for the new Rancho shocks,I forgot to see if both sides turned the same direction whilst turning one axle.
Thats a bit of a chore,knocking off them rear spring hangers to move them back a hole.LOL
We did have the covers off but I did`nt see any clutch packs in there,I even lookedededed.LOL someone might have busted it or maby robbed that locker for something else.
I had never seen a rear differential turn as smooth as this one,drums rustset onto the flanges,give them a spin and they`d just keep tight on a going for a while,smooooooth.

It is still in the appropriate section if you look you will see it there. This one is a copy of that post to keep the convo flowing here.
