What Is the VIN Number?
When your Chevy Silverado is manufactured, it is assigned a Vehicle Identification Number that is a 17-digit code that includes letters and numerals to identify the vehicle year, make, model, trim level, features and more – like a vehicle fingerprint. Vehicles with a VIN Number that is less than 17 characters were manufactured prior to 1981.
Where To Find Your Vehicle VIN Number
Are you looking for the VIN Number on your car, truck or SUV? The VIN Number is located in two primary locations – on the driver’s side dashboard right by the windshield that can be easily read from the outside and on the driver’s side door frame where the door latches. Additional places you can find a VIN Number include your auto insurance policy, the vehicle title and the vehicle registration.

VIN Numbers are important to have when you choose to sell your used car, truck or crossover at The Car Depot. Vehicle Identification Numbers provide information on year, make, model, trim level, features, accident history and title information – which are all important factors in the value of your vehicle.
