How do you read A Vin # on the frame Dodge A100

Does anyone know how to read a Vin # that is on the frame of a Dodge A100???

Dodge A100 p/u Vin # 186-G35971

Hey guys, made a mistake on the Vin # on the frame, it should read 186-G35971. I do hope
someone can break this down for me. I'm trying to figure out the year?????? The original plate by
the drivers seat has been lost. Help
Thankx

was these numbers taken from the frame on the passengers side ??
near the front shock mount
is the master cylinder under the drivers seat single or a duel fluid boul ?

here you are dodge 1963 to 1969 vin decoding
18 =a100 pickup 19 was the van
6 = 6 cylinder your next letter g may be a 6
6 = built in winsor truck plant

Yes that is where the #'s come from. Could read 186-035971 or 186-C35971 and the master cylinder was a single bowl.

the master cylinder dates it as 67 or older can you tell if the wheel well had one plate or two
from the rivet holes 1 plate had 2 and the older ones with 2 plates would have has 3 holes

18 = A-100 pickup
6  = 6 cylinder
- = Most light duty A-series Compacts or D-series pickups were built at the Warren Truck Plant (#1).

your number ends with 035971
1965 started with 015000
1966 started with 055000
so it was built about 20K into during the 1965 production run.
