My town did the same thing. They registered my 1008 as 1985. Form 97 says
1985. State Farm tells me the vin is 1984 and wrote the policy that way.

The truck was built in Jan of 86. I thought it was a 86 and the courthouse
thought it was a 86 but the title bond people put 85 on the bond. I didn't
catch it when I turned in the paperwork. This truck was sold as residue
with no form 97. I bought it from GL so there is no previous title. I
should be able to get a rider for free but the bond people keep fussing that
the number is invalid. I wanted to be well informed before I talked with
them again.
Thanks for all the help.

The tenth digit is the year. There have always been problems in the
military with date of manufacture and model year..including the air
force... My 86
RAM50 is an Air Force 87 because that is the year it was put into
service...
so, from the official chevy manual 52 D for the CUCV, I offer the
following:
1984 E 1985 F 1986 G 1987 H IN THE TENTH DIGIT
YOUR 1G8ED18J4GF would be a Chevrolet Multipurpose Vehicle, (MPV),
Conventional cab , 6000-7000 LB GVW w/hydraulic brakes, Military Truck
(4x4),
Utility, 6.2 Diesel, Check digit, 1986,with plant code F...
.. So, does the sticker on the inside of your driver's fender have a
different VIN, does the door plate on the driver's side have a different
vin...
Is your title correct...
My Blazer was a 1G8ED18J6GF175XXX MODEL CD10506 1986
Chev MPV, 6000-7000 gvw, hydraulic brakes, Military truck 4 x 4, two door
cab, 6.2 Diesel, check digit, plant code f, 175XXX
Sometimes the date of manufacture, not the model year is used by the
gummint
to describe the vehicles... So, a truck made in December of 1985 as a
model year 1986, and accepted by the gummint that month would possibly be
called
a 1985 because that was the year it was put in service.... What does the
SF97 say? They can be corrected at the DRMO if you have all your
paperwork in
order and hopefully if you get along with your GL rep..
