My seventh digit is a 'Z'   ???   Also, apparently my Sprint is a "Classic"
The dash looks the same as my '73.  Big boxy speedometer, and a 
separate rectangular area to the left with a fuel gauge and 3 idiot lights.  No 
fuel economy gauge, although I did see in the owner's manual where that was an 
option.

Subject: [elky] 76 sprint VIN

1st symbol "5" indicates GMC

2nd and 3rd symbols = series
    C = sprint
    D = Classic

3rd and 4th indicate body type:
    80 = 2 dr sedan pickup
5th indicates engine
    D = 250 6cyl
    L = 350 V8 (4 bbl)
    Q = 305 V8
    U = 400 V8 (4 bbl)
    V = 350 V8 (2bbl)
6th symbol = year
    should be a 6
7th is assembly plantg
    D = Doraville GA
    R= Arlington TX
    l = Oshawa Canada
the last 6 symbols are the sequential unit production number for each plant.

and another question - which dash panel did you get - the one with the huge 
Fuel 
Economy gauge and the idiot lights or the sporty one with real gauges in 
smaller 
holes?
