    Default Decoding a Prevost VIN

    Does anyone know how to decode the VIN?

    Here's a number I picked off a recent EBAY ad: 2PCW3349061028910
    Can anyone clue me into what the different digits represent?

    Thanks,

    I'm hurrying thru stuff and haven't done a great search, but maybe some of the search experts like Jim C can do a better job of getting more detail.

    Just by Googling the number I came up with these pages, not exactly what you were asking for, but maybe interesting to you.

    Also interesting information;

    In this one notice on the right, the fourth item down the column, VIN number look up.
    ( that should have been, VIN look up and not VIN vehicle identification number number look up ) as printed

    THE TENTH DIGIT IS THE YEAR IF THE CHASSIS, SO THIS IS A 2006 CHASSIS AND SHELL. THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS 1-9 RELATE TO THE MODEL OF THE SHELL AND THE ENGINE. 11-17 ARE PART OF THE SEQUENTIAL SERIAL NUMBER FOR IDENTIFICATION. JUST LIKE A CAR OR TRUCK.
