How to Decode a 95 GMC VIN

Every road vehicle sold in the United States, including 1995 GMC models, has a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), as mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Transportation and insurance companies use the 17-character VIN to track recalls, warranty claims and theft. The VIN contains information describing where the vehicle was built and which company built it. You can easily decode a 1995 GMC's VIN.
