To Any Truck Historians:

Where was the dash core made? Assembled?





Where and/or who assembled the dashboards and made the interior cab parts for GMT400 series 1988 - 1992 Silverado trucks?

Was it a specific GM division? (GM Windsor Trim)?

Use the VIN decoder on this site - https://chevroletforum.com/forum/vindecoder.php - for finding out where the truck was built - the first 2 digits of the VIN define the division. At this point in time GM was beginning to transition to the metric system, so it could’ve been built in the US or Canada.

As for who/where the individual components were made, I couldn’t say for sure. This was a time of transition not just for SAE to metric but also outsourcing some things (such as electronics) to other countries.

Look for the Made in USA/Taiwan/other stickers.
