It is missing the 1st digit which is a 1, meaning it was made in the US. The rest of the VIN decodes as follows:B = Dodge7 = TruckH = 6001-7000 LBW = 4x41 = 1/2 Ton4 = Standard CabT = 5.2LCheck DigitG = 1986S = Warren, MI Truck Plant061116 = SequenceAs you can see, the month the truck was built cannot be derived from the VIN. You would have to check either the serial number mounted on the driver's door of the build sheet, if you can obtain it.JimOn Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 3:22:03 PM UTC-4 62-65-mail...@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote:I thought the VIN was supposed to be 17 characters; this has 16.
