I have 4 Chevy Express Cargo Vans two of them have the number 1 for plant assembly which is Wentzville Mo the other two vans have the letter X for assembly all I could find in the service Manual was Experimental Engineering Manufacturing Services! Can anybody give me some information... where this plant was at any thing at all? Thank you...

 

Cargovanroy Welcome to the forum

What year are they, as that may help identify the VIN digits meanings...

 

Google is a might fine thing

According to Wikipedia X = Fairfax, Kansas and is now a closed plant.
It was for 1987 or older vehicles...

List of General Motors factories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

They are both 2001 1 ton Chevys' extended with 5.7 motors I saw the Wikipedia on the Kansas city plant.

 

Might also try running the numbers by a dealerships parts department...

 

I just got a brand new 5.7 motor for my express van yesterday and I ask the parts guy if he could figure out the X on the Vin number... He came back and told me that it showed the Oshawa Truck Assembly Plant in Canada I googled the plant and it does not show any production of Express Vans at the plant but I will take the guys word for it....also the plant is closed down maybe they had a side assembly line for Vans at the plant

 

Hi Cargovanroy,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

Is there a basic mechanical query you were

trying to contact the original assembly line

regarding, or were you just interested in the

vehicle origins for historical purposes?

 

naaa was just curious I thought all the cargo vans were assembled in Mo... every one I have ever owned had the letter I but I got one title with the letter X on the Vin...

 

Well, did you know you can get RPO code lists from the internet?

You can track a lot of important OEM build information directly

by referencing the RPO codes on the "Service Parts ID" sticker

in your glove box.
