These guys mean the label which says the compliance with the FMVSS regulations. However, these vehicles do not have that label. But GM should be able to supply that label, for as said in above posts, the truck is basically the same as the low level civilian version for construction companys (according to the pampflets of that time).
May be this helps.
However, these guys should be able to find out, which kind of vehicle it is from the VIN (1GCGD34J?E???????) .
1 = USA
G= General Motors
C= GMC Truck and Coach, Chevy Truck
G= Brake System rated 9000 lbs (H= Brake system rated 10000 lbs)
D= Military truck 4x4
3= 1 ton rating
4= two door
J=6.2 l Diesel light duty truck emission (Injection pump type DB28 )
?= Check digit
E= Model Year E= 1984, F=1985, G=1986
?= Assembly plant (3=Detroit, MI)
last síx= counting number
Vehicle Model code is CD-30903
C= 4x4
D= Diesel
30903 is the drawing number of the overall view of the chassis.
Dimensions:
lenght 5610 mm
width 2065 mm
hight 1915 mm
Curb weight from the scales: 2750 kg
front axle load rated 2000 kg
rear axle load rated 2490 kg
Gross vehicle weight with G-brake: 4077 kg / 9000 lbs, with H-brake 4490 kg / 9911 lbs (Tires!, else 4535 kg)
standard tires LT235/85R16 LRE
Rear axle load is limited by tire capacity! According to the door label it is higher (around 2700 kg, but I have the correct figure not on hand).
On the alu label on the left B-Pillar the original registration number is given as well as the date of the vehicle set into service. For these vehicles, if not a chassis cab, is identical with the production date.
In the glowe compartment there is a label that mentions all option codes in the truck. Keep the label, it is required to get the correct parts for the truck if they can not find the parts with the VIN.
